Little Words, Big Role: Grammar Worksheet on “Articles (a, an)” for Grade 1

 This Grade 1 grammar worksheet introduces children to the use of articles — "a" and "an" — through engaging, picture-supported, and sentence-based activities. It helps early learners understand when to use "a" (before consonant sounds) and "an" (before vowel sounds) while building reading fluency and grammar confidence.

Why Learning Articles Matters in Grammar? 

1. Articles help children make complete and meaningful sentences. 
2. They teach when to use "a" and "an" naturally in speech and writing. 
3. They develop observation skills through sound-based learning. 
4. They build strong grammar habits early on for future writing success.
