You’ll find the 1st grade spelling words for weeks 21-24 below. As well as spelling worksheets that go along with the words for each of those weeks.

And if a phonics blend has not been seen in previous weeks, it will be mentioned in the week it is first seen.

This will give you a roadmap of a good time to teach these blends to your children.

Word Shape Puzzles

You also have the option to print out a weekly word shape puzzle to go along with each week’s spelling words.

Word shapes puzzle for grade 1 week 21. There's 10 words for kids to write in a box that matches the shape of the word. Next kids will color the word boxes that have a long E sound, an ST blend, an FL blend, and a BR blend.

The grade 1 spelling worksheets will help kids work on learning the spelling of their weekly words.

They will first write each of the words in a word box that matches the shape of the word. After they will be given different phonics sounds to hunt for in their list of words.

The student will then be directed to color the word boxes that contain those given phonics sounds, a specific color.
