Healthy Habits Vocabulary Worksheets for 1st Grade

What your child practices

Build word knowledge with Healthy Habits: 4 worksheets for 1st grade (Grade 1 in Canada) and 32 questions to answer. Young children learn new words fastest when they meet them again and again in different ways, which is why each sheet uses the same words in a new kind of task. The sheets cover Match the Meaning, Fill in the Sentence, Synonyms and Antonyms and Which Word Fits. The skill matches Common Core L.1.4, the standard for working out the meaning of unknown words. It also touches L.1.6, learning and using new grade level words. Answer keys sit on page 2 of each PDF, so checking takes seconds. After printing, the online version gives instant feedback and reads each question aloud.

Tips for parents

• Act out words when you can. Young learners remember a word they have moved to.
• Have your child write one sentence of their own for each new word.
• Pick three words from the Healthy Habits list and use them in conversation during the week.
