Grade 1 Life Skills

About Grade 1 Life Skills

Grade 1 life skills (1st grade, ages 6–7) is 20 lessons in 5 units: Look After Me (lessons 1–4), My Room (lessons 5–8), Help in the Kitchen (lessons 9–12), Stay Safe (lessons 13–16), and finally Everyday Habits (lessons 17–20). Along the way, children learn to feel the soil to check if a plant needs water, pour slowly with two hands over the sink or a tray and know the sound of the smoke alarm.

Start here: Lesson 1: Wash Your Hands Properly is free to open and print. Every other lesson has a free preview of its mini lesson and vocabulary.

Paper first: each lesson is printed before you call your child. You read it once and talk it through, your child does the exercises on paper, and you correct together with the Parent checklist — about 45 minutes at the table. The next day, a 10-minute screen review of the same lesson.
