Looking for a no-prep way to keep your 1st grader’s skills sharp over the summer? This packet of 1st Grade Summer Review Worksheets is the perfect mix of fun and focused review! Whether you’re a homeschool mom, teacher, or parent who wants to prevent the summer slide, this printable packet offers just-right practice in phonics, sight words, handwriting, and math. Each worksheet set is designed to be completed in 15-30 minutes, depending on your child’s speed and familiarity with these first grade concepts. These review worksheets are ideal for summer mornings, road trips, or quiet time at home.
I am so excited for this new summer series here at Mama’s Learning Corner! For the next 5 weeks during the summer, I am publishing a packet of summer learning packetsw for 1st grade that will be just right for your children that have completed Grade 1.
That’s 6 total weeks of 1st grade weekly worksheet packets!
Each weekly packet will cover 5 worksheet pages for 1 week: Monday through Friday.
Of course, we homeschool mothers know that children don’t often fit the box of a particular grade, however, these worksheet packets will focus on those skills practiced in a traditional 1st grade course of study.
Certainly use them with your eager and curious Kindergarten children or use them with 2nd graders that need some more intense and fundamental phonics review and practice with math facts.
None of the pages indicate that they are for First Grade, so feel free to easily use them with the students that need this level with no shame.
This is a continuing series for 6 total weeks this summer. A new printable summer packet will be published each week, so stay tuned!

1st Grade Summer Review Worksheets #1
The focus of these 1st grade worksheets will be math and phonics. When my four oldest children were all elementary age, we never took a whole summer off. We usually took most of June off, and then hopped back into school right after July 4th.
That remains my favorite homeschool schedule! Alas, with older children in middle and high school, that has not been the best fit for us in this season of life.
Since I have a 7 year old that just completed 1st grade, I will need to do some some academic work with him through the summer. Because he is not a strong reader, he will need consistent phonics work throughout the summer.
This packet is perfect for kids that are scheduled to have a long summer break, but still need consistent phonics and math facts practice.
These worksheets are short and sweet! They will reinforce those 1st grade phonics concepts that we worked so hard on this year.
How to Use the Summer Review Worksheets
The 1st Grade Summer Review Worksheets will all follow the same formula each week. They will each have 25 pages total with a daily math drill.
Each packet will consist of:
- 25 total pages – 5 worksheets for each day
- 5 days total for Monday through Friday
- 5 pages of math worksheets
- 5 pages of phonics practice worksheets
- 5 pages of focused handwriting practice for print writing – words include basic household nouns and countries around the world
- 5 pages of sight word practice taken from the First Grade Dolch sight word list
- 5 pages of color by code worksheets – varies between phonics and math practice
- BONUS: Daily math drill
- BONUS: Answer Keys
There are plenty of worksheets to practice skills in these packets. I wrote these to be a more intense review, covering math, phonics, handwriting, sight words, math drill, and a fun color by code page each day.
You certainly do not have to do every page every day! Only print the ones that are needed in your home. I simply included an abundance of pages so you can pick and choose the right content for your children.

This tip was really helpful for my girls when they were younger! Too many items on the page – especially colored pictures – was a huge hindrance for them in the early grades.
FAQs about the 1st Grade Summer Review Worksheets
Q: What subjects are covered in this 1st Grade Summer Packet?
A: The packet includes worksheets on phonics, handwriting, math facts, number order, and sight words for a well-rounded 1st grade review.
Q: How much time should these worksheets take each day?
A: This will vary from child to child, of course, depending on how well your child mastered the material during the school year. I created the worksheets based on the average first grade child needing around 30-60 minutes to complete the pages.
Q: Is this packet appropriate for Kindergarten students?
A: If you have a child that is reading well, then by all means download and use these pages! They might need a bit more assistance, but they can certainly complete them with mom’s help.
Likewise, they can be adjusted for 2nd grade children or those who need more phonics practice also. Don’t be afraid to adapt them to your own circumstances!
