1st grade writing worksheets

A real sample sheet.

Four writing skills at 1st grade, one sheet each, free with its answer key: narrative sequencing words, opinion sentence frames, picture writing prompts, and more.

Most sheets change with every click. Any other skill prints from its row below. Examples and teaching notes

  • Narrative sequencing words Stories move in order, and order words drive: first, next, then, after that, finally. They tell the reader where in the journey you are.
  • Opinion sentence frames An opinion sentence has two parts: what you think, and why. The frame holds the shape: I think ___ because ___.
  • Picture writing prompts Look at the whole picture first. Say one thing that is happening, then write that sentence down.
  • Sentence writing A sentence needs a capital at the front, an idea in the middle, and an end mark: a period, or a question mark if it asks. Take the two words, build the idea, write it whole.
