These first grade vocabulary words introduce and reinforce high-utility words. The majority of words in each Flocabulary first grade video are considered "tier-2 vocabulary"—high-utility and aspirational words that are relevant to academic success. Many of these songs are thematically tied to units that are taught at the early elementary grade levels (the four seasons, primary geography terms, animals and their characteristics) to streamline learning. Flocabulary's kindergarten videos each revolve around a specific setting or concept (a visit to the dentist, surfing on the beach). While several of the words are specific to that setting (healthy, rotten, row) others are more "general purpose" words (gentle, relax, glance) that have meaning within the specific story, but have wider application as well.
