Grade 1 Listening practice

5 Grade 1 listening lessons, including hear the number, hear the opposite, rhyme time, who did it?, what came next?. Each one has a short video where Pip explains the idea, a worked example, and endless new practice questions with step-by-step help when a child gets stuck.

Step 1: Hear the number

Tens come first when we say a number: forty-seven is 4 tens and 7 ones.

Tip: Listen for the tens word (like forty) and then the ones word (like seven).

Step 2: Hear the opposite

Opposites mean completely different things, like hot and cold.

Tip: Think of the word that means the reverse.

Step 3: Rhyme time

Rhyming words end with the same sound.

Tip: Say the word, then say each choice. Do the endings match?

Step 4: Who did it?

Listen for who did the action in a sentence.

Tip: The doer usually comes before the action word.

Step 5: What came next?

Listening for order words like first, then and last helps you remember.

Tip: Hold up a finger for each thing you hear.
