Word Search Puzzles for Kids

Use these word search puzzles for kids who are beginning to read as a fun way to build spelling skills.

When your child needs to hunt for the beginning sequence of letters, they are reinforcing their memory skills, as well as their encoding/decoding skills by repeating over and over the letter combination they are searching for: B R E...B R E...There it is! B R E A D !


Children love to hunt for clues, and using word search puzzles for kids who are resistant or struggling with more direct methods of teaching will be a low-stress way to build their skills while they think they are taking a break!
