1st Grade Grammar Curriculum Overview
First-grade grammar under Common Core Language standards L.1.1 and L.1.2 covers foundational sentence-level skills. Students learn to identify and use common nouns, proper nouns, and personal pronouns. Verb instruction includes using past, present, and future tense and understanding subject-verb agreement for basic sentences. Students learn to use determiners (a, an, the), frequently occurring conjunctions (and, but, or), and frequently occurring prepositions (to, from, in, out, on, off). In writing, students capitalize names and dates, use end punctuation correctly, and apply comma rules in dates and lists. Sentence structure work focuses on producing complete simple and compound sentences, distinguishing between statements, questions, and exclamations. Grammar is best taught in the context of shared and interactive writing, where students see conventions applied in meaningful communication rather than on isolated drill worksheets.
