Helpful Tips to Complete Word Searches
I always find it helpful to start by looking through the letters, row by row, to find the words. You can do this by going left to right, top to bottom, or diagonally. Be sure to use a finger or pencil to guide your eyes and help them focus on the correct row.
If there’s a word that you just can’t find, try looking for the beginning letter in the puzzle, and then check the surrounding letters for the next letter of the word, and then the next. Eventually, you will find that word!
When you find each word, make sure to cross it off the list. It’s so much easier to keep track of what you’ve found and what you still need to search for!
Benefits of Word Searches
Word searches are an excellent way to combine learning with fun! As your kids solve these word puzzles, they will practice important developmental skills, such as letter and word recognition and fine motor skills. They will also develop their ability to be patient and to concentrate on a task until it is done. They will feel so much pride and accomplishment when they complete each puzzle!
Word searches are also a wonderful quiet activity for your kids when you need to keep their minds and hands busy. Keep these on hand for any time you are on a long car ride, waiting for your food at a restaurant, or sitting in a doctor’s office.
