1st Grade ELA Digital Warm Up
Hey teachers! Looking for a comprehensive 1st grade ELA resource to cover tons of important reading and writing skills? Need to make sure your 1st graders meet their ELA standards and are prepared for district testing? I’ve got just the thing for you!
1st grade ELA learning is super important for students. It’s the age where they are getting familiar with the building blocks that serve as the foundation to critical reading and writing skills. These concepts will pave the way for future success in English language arts and all of their other subjects as well.
From phonics, to spelling, to grammar, to reading comprehension, 1st grade ELA does it all. This is a huge must for all 1st grade teachers, but we all know that there often just isn’t enough time in the day to teach all of these crucial skills.
This 1st Grade ELA Digital Warm Up is an amazing resource for practicing these important reading and writing skills in an easy, fun way that you can use for review all year long. The fun facts of the day make reviewing ELA enjoyable for students, and the extensive list of topics covered gives you the confidence that students are meeting their 1st grade ELA standards.
The great thing about this digital format is that it requires no paper copies, so you don’t have to print anything or spend extra time distributing materials to the class. Thanks to the format on Google Slides, you can put the warm up on your Smartboard every day and go through the questions as a class. It can also be used on ANY digital platform, not just google classroom, so it’s perfect for every teacher out there!
Even though the warm up is meant to be used in class every day, students will look forward to learning the fun facts that are part of the activity (like “Cows can sleep standing up, but they can only dream laying down”). Have fun with these ELA warm ups, and enjoy!

How does this 1st Grade ELA Digital Warm Up work?
The fun fact structure of these 1st grade ELA warm ups make it super engaging for kids! Each warm up begins with a fun fact, but they don’t get to find out the answer just yet! Students then answer ten different ELA questions that rotate through the 1st grade standards. For every correct response, they receive a special prize or treat. If they’ve collected all ten prizes at the end, they’ll receive the answer to the fun fact!
If they get the answer wrong, it will automatically take them back to try again!
This is such a fun way to gather the class together while preparing them to meet the 1st grade standards at the end of the year. The extra practice will also make sure they nail those difficult concepts that are so important for developing great reading and writing skills!
