Nouns Worksheet
- 1st grade
- CCSS L.1.1b
A free, printable nouns worksheet for 1st grade. Your child circles nouns, sorts them into person, animal, place and thing, and writes sentences with nouns of their own. Answer key included.
What's inside
- Page 1: circle the noun in 6 sentences, then sort 8 nouns into person, animal, place and thing.
- Page 2: finish 4 sentences with a noun, then write a sentence with two nouns.
- Page 3: answer key.
How to use it
- Teach or review the rule first with the nouns lesson. It takes about 10 minutes.
- Read the directions for each part out loud. Early readers can point while you read.
- Check Part A together before your child goes on, so any confusion gets fixed early.
- Use the answer key on the last page.
Prints on US Letter paper (8.5 × 11 in). No sign-up needed.
Tips for doing it together
- Keep it short. One page a day is plenty for most young children, and two short sessions beat one long one.
- Let your child read each sentence out loud before answering. Many mistakes get caught by ear.
- Mark a mistake with a small dot instead of an X, and let your child find and fix it. That's where the learning happens.
What your child is practicing
A noun names a person, an animal, a place or a thing. In 1st grade, kids learn to find nouns in sentences and tell what each one names. Part B asks your child to think about what a word names, not just whether it is a noun, which is the step that makes nouns stick.
