How can you help him or her at home? How can teachers foster active, successful learning in the classroom? This book answers these all-important questions and more, offering the specific shared knowledge that hundreds of parents and teachers across the nation have agreed upon for American first graders. Featuring a new Introduction, filled with opportunities for reading aloud and fostering discussion, this first-grade volume of the acclaimed Core Knowledge Series presents the sort of knowledge and skills that should be at the core of a challenging first-grade education. Inside you’ll discover • Favorite poems —old and new, such as “The Owl and the Pussycat,” “Wynken, Blynken, and Nod,” and “Thirty Days Hath September” • Beloved stories —from many times and lands, including a selection of Aesop’s fables, “Hansel and Gretel,” “All Stories Are Anansi’s,” “The Tale of Peter Rabbit,” and more • Familiar sayings and phrases —such as “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” and “Practice makes perfect” • World and American history and geography —take a trip down the Nile with King Tut and learn about the early days of our country, including the story of Jamestown, the Pilgrims, and the American Revolution • Visual arts —fun activities plus full-color reproductions of masterworks by Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, Georgia O’Keeffe, and others • Music —engaging introductions to great composers and music, including classical music, opera, and jazz, as well as a selection of favorite children’s songs • Math —a variety of activities to help your child learn to count, add and subtract, solve problems, recognize geometrical shapes and patterns, and learn about telling time • Science —interesting discussions of living things and their habitats, the human body, the states of matter, electricity, our solar system, and what’s inside the earth, plus stories of famous scientists such as Thomas Edison and Louis Pasteur Review: A must have - 'What your first grader needs to know' is by far the best book that I have purchased for homeschooling. I believe it's a must have for every homeschooling family wondering if they are covering what they should. Along with non-homeschooling families curious if their child is where he or he should be at in the school system. It goes over everything your child needs to know in the first grade, breaking it up into sections by subject. It not only explains to you what your child should know, but gives you pointers on how you can help your child learn and achieve the first grade goals. I have nearly every book in this series, for each grade level, and use them all. And for a lot of the concepts, you can really use them at any level, such as the stories and poems. Each subject is broken up into sections/chapters, which I mark with sticky notes sticking out of the top. And even though as time moves on, they are getting older, the first editions are just as wonderful as the second. Like I stated, you can use any of them at any level. You do not have to use this first grade book for a first grader, use it for any child who could benefit from it. So if you feel your child is at a different level, all you do is adjust. I use these books as a basis. I can adapt any lesson plan to this book. When reading the poems and short stories, or the history section ( or really any section) it opens up a whole world for more research and reading. The stories get my kids interested in a topic, and they want to know more, so, we find more. A trip to the library, an Internet search, or a kindle download (usually free). Our kids enjoy them as much as I do. I have used them for many years now. I started with the kindergarten series when our now 17 year old was 5, and homeschooled until 6th grade (and again her freshman year). She is now a National Honor Society member, dual-enrolled, straight A student in the publc school system.) and considering finishing up her high school career at home,) And again with our now 8 year-old, and beginning some of the reading with our toddler, but will repeat it as he grows. But they're never to little to be read to! Sections on reading, literature, poems... Math, science, social studies and music. My favorite are the literature, poems and history. I use them the most. Only wish those sections were bigger. Many thanks to the author of this great book for putting everything I need to know to teach my child, under one cover. Review: Exactly what I’ve been looking for - I’m a first time homeschooler with zero background in teaching. I have been at a loss of what and how to teach my child, and this has put my mind at ease. It also has everything in it that you would need (full poems/stories, history lessons, etc.) with additional suggestions for further teaching or reading. It’s so much cheaper than a regular curriculum, but it really has almost everything you need. It gave me ideas for projects and field trips to supplement, and you wouldn’t get those in a regular curriculum anyway. Save your money and buy this book. It’s a first grade book, but my 4 year old already finished our kindergarten curriculum and is begging for more. His attention span is much shorter than a normal first grader, so I like that it has shorter sections that I can pretty easily use as daily 15 minute lessons. I feel confident that when we finish this book, he will be completely prepared for second grade. And of course, we will be buying the next book in this series. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #25,823 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #23 in Parent Participation in Education (Books) #53 in Early Childhood Education #55 in Homeschooling (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 752 Reviews | ## Images ![What Your First Grader Needs to Know (Revised and Updated): Fundamentals of a Good First-Grade Education (The Core Knowledge Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rzGrDCAbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have *by J***H on November 1, 2002* 'What your first grader needs to know' is by far the best book that I have purchased for homeschooling.

I have been at a loss of what and how to teach my child, and this has put my mind at ease.

But I decided to look through the book and see what was in it. They are right when they day don't judge a book by its cover cause upon reviewing the chapters and subjects this was a great addition to my homeschool curriculum. The world history, literature, art and music subjects are laid out in a way that I would have never been able to do or even convey to my child in a way that made it fun and exciting. She really lo ok s forward to this book each day of school! ## Frequently Bought Together - What Your First Grader Needs to Know (Revised and Updated): Fundamentals of a Good First-Grade Education - What Your Kindergartner Needs to Know (Revised and updated): Preparing Your Child for a Lifetime of Learning - What Your Second Grader Needs to Know (Revised and Updated): Fundamentals of a Good Second-Grade Education --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/6641498-what-your-first-grader-needs-to-know-revised-and-updated](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/6641498-what-your-first-grader-needs-to-know-revised-and-updated) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
