1st Grade Alphabetizing Worksheets

Ages 6-7 · 2 sub-topics · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

These alphabetizing worksheets for first grade have students put words in alphabetical order, first by circling words in the correct sequence and then by writing word lists in order themselves. Alphabetizing is a practical reference skill: it is how students will look words up in a dictionary or glossary, find a book on a shelf, or navigate any list, so early practice pays off well beyond the worksheet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Alphabetizing is a practical reference skill, not just an abstract exercise. It is how students will look up a word in a dictionary or glossary, find a book by author on a library shelf, or navigate any alphabetized list later in school and life. Starting with simple first-letter alphabetizing in first grade builds the foundation for multi-letter alphabetizing (comparing the second or third letter when words start the same) in later grades.
