EDUCATIONAL WORKBOOK • SCHOLASTIC EARLY LITERACY

Published by Scholastic, 100 Words Kids Need to Read by 1st Grade is a targeted, skill-building workbook designed to help young learners master the essential vocabulary, spelling, and comprehension tools required for first-grade reading success.

By focusing on high-frequency sight words and core vocabulary, this workbook transforms repetitive practice into an engaging game. Children explore words in context through a rich variety of exercises—ranging from fill-in-the-blank stories and word riddles to sorting activities, proofreading practice, and irregular verb drills.
