Books for 1st Grade

Our Books for 1st Grade collection offers a wider range of options for families planning reading across the full first grade year. Homeschoolers, afterschooling families, and caregivers will find vetted, secular decodables, leveled readers, early chapter books, and read-alouds that support both skill-building and joy. Every book is reviewed for literary quality, alignment with early literacy research, and age-appropriate themes, with attention to diverse characters and family structures. Use the filters to sort by reading level, genre (humor, adventure, realistic fiction, nonfiction, poetry), and goals such as independent practice, cuddle-time read-alouds, or stretching advanced readers. You can also filter for high-interest and audio options that often help ADHD or dyslexic learners. Many families build first grade language arts around reading from this collection. If you’re not sure how to balance decodables, leveled readers, and rich stories, Modulo’s AI learning concierge can recommend a mix tailored to your child.
