First grade is an exciting time as students develop fundamental work habits, appropriate social behavior, problem solving and decision making skills and of course academic skills. They will learn how to read, write stories, add, subtract and so much more.

We have provided some videos from the non-profit, GreatSchools! that explain what to look for to determine if your student is on track, along with some videos on how to tell if your child is mastering the essential skills taught in first grade.
