First grade is where the pieces of kindergarten become fluent. Children read short texts by blending sounds and recognising sight words, write and spell simple words, add and subtract within twenty, and begin to understand place value — that a number is made of tens and ones. Because the whole garden is mapped to Common Core and Head Start standards, you can see exactly which first-grade skill each game builds.
Conker's Tumble Towers turns adding and subtracting within twenty into cannon shots at a tower, so kids happily do dozens of sums. Echo's Word Eggs and Woolly's Word Wagon push reading and spelling forward, and Zumi's Mail Run builds the sequencing behind first coding. Every game has rising levels, so it grows with your first grader.
Want more of a stretch? The full garden adds logic and deduction (Riddle Reef) and a money-and-change game (Luna's Lemonade Stand). Teachers: see the classroom guide — no logins, no data.
