Most of the terms that fall into this category are of high use and serve as a utility to most language at the first-grade level. There are many different tools and methods that can be used by students to learn new words faster. The most common method is by using flashcards. They can be done on good old fashion index cards or through the use of online flashcards. Remember these kids are in first grade, you need to show them how to use flashcards. I would highly suggest that you have students practice simply rewriting these words a number of times. This simple activity is powerful for remembering the structure of these words. To bring meaning to the vocabulary, it is often helpful to encourage students to draw pictures that bring meaning to the definition of the terms themselves. Another great method is to have students write these words in sentences. Use these worksheets to learn words that first graders should have a good grasp on.

How to Learn the Meaning a New Word?


It is almost impossible to memorize every word from the English language. Using a dictionary is a good option whenever you are faced with a new word. However, it is not very handy. You can still learn the meaning and spelling of a new word with the following tips.


How to learn the meaning?


You can imagine a visual in your mind with every new word that you learn. It will make you remember the meaning of it more easily. Another way to learn the meaning of a new word is to pay attention to the suffixes and prefixes. They are pre-defined words with definite meanings. You can learn all the suffixes and prefixes to easily learn the meaning of any new word.


How to learn a new spelling word


Usually, long words are very difficult to spell. They can get confusing as well. For example, it is easy to confuse the spellings of independence with fence because both have similar pronunciations. To eliminate this confusion, here are a few ways that will help you remember the spelling of new words.


Break down the word


This is a very easy to way to memorize the spellings of long and confusing words. Write the word down and break it into parts. For example, if we take the word constraint, you can break it into three parts. Con-strain-t. Remember the pattern and sounds. This would help you in spelling more words with similar sound patterns.


Pronounce the Syllables


Some words are difficult to memorize due to their weird spellings. By pronouncing the syllables individually, you can guess the spellings of the word. If the word has a pronunciation different than its spellings, then you can ignore the pronunciation for some time and focus on the syllables instead.
