1st Grade posters — questions

What do the 1st Grade posters cover?

Hundred Chart, Addition Facts to 10, Number Line 0–20, 3D Shapes, 1st Grade Sight Words, Short & Long Vowels, Telling Time, Parts of a Plant. Together they cover addition facts, number line, sight words, vowels, telling time — the reference knowledge 1st Grade keeps asking a child to recall.

Are the 1st Grade posters free?

Yes. Every poster on this page can be previewed in full and downloaded as a print-ready PDF for free. The $7.99 option simply bundles all 8 into one PDF so you print once rather than downloading them one at a time.

How should I use a poster once it is printed?

Hang it where the work happens, then refer to it out loud. A poster that gets pointed at during homework teaches; a poster nobody mentions is wallpaper. Each poster on this page carries a one-line suggestion for exactly that.

Is my child too old or too young for the 1st Grade set?

Mix freely. These are individual reference sheets, not a sequence — a child who is ahead in reading and behind in maths can take the poster they need from either grade without any awkwardness.
