About this page

Word searches build spelling and letter scanning. For early readers use the 8 by 8 grid with across-and-down words; the answer key highlights every word, so checking takes seconds.

Tip for grown-ups

Have the child read the word list out loud before searching; knowing the words makes them easier to spot.
