Puzzles that follow the first grade year. Reading: Sight Words, CVC Words, Phonics, Compound Words, Opposites and Nouns. The class units: Community Helpers and the Five Senses, the four seasons through Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer, and the Moon for the first look at the sky. The 100th Day of School falls in February or so, depending on when school started.
The Common Core reading standards for first grade add consonant digraphs such as sh, ch and th, and the silent e that turns cap into cape and kit into kite. That is the step from three-letter words to longer ones, and most words in these lists have six letters or fewer.
