First-Grade Word Wall List

Below is a list of words that a Word Wall might contain at the end of first grade.  This one includes high-frequency words, a few frequently-written-by-first-graders words (such as favorite, sister and brother), and examples for all beginning sounds.  Starred words have a spelling pattern and will help children spell lots of rhyming words.
