First Grade Sounds

⁣In 1st grade your child will start by being able to read CVC words (consonant-vowel-consonant words) like t-a-p, then move on to read words that start with bl, sl, and tr. They'll learn that the letter “e” at the end of some words will be silent (gone, time). They'll also master long vowel sounds such as ai, ee, oa.
