VocabularySpellingCity's online social studies games for 1st grade include those that teach social studies vocabulary definitions along with the proper spelling of social studies words. The word lists and other available vocabulary cover all first grade social studies topics. VocabularySpellingCity partners with teachers and parents to ensure your students enjoy learning the social studies vocabulary about the world around them.

Vocabulary comprehension can be the difference between pass and fail on a test, as it is key to conceptual comprehension and therefore to understanding the events depicted by that vocabulary. When 1st grade students know the specific meanings of words, they can more easily relate them to a particular context and in turn better grasp the broader lesson at hand. If students don't understand the words used in a lesson, they are not likely to understand the lesson as a whole. When students know the meanings of their words, their confidence and interest levels increase, leading to academic success. Vocabulary building through fun interactive games keeps students engaged and motivated to keep learning.
