What your child practises

Skills: Word search.

Recognising and spelling words while scanning a grid carefully in every direction.

What’s included

• 6 words to find
• An answer key you can print with the sheet or on its own
• An on-screen version with instant marking and stars

Age and school year

Made for ages 6–11. That’s Grade 1–6 in the US, Year 2–7 in England, Primary 1–6 in Nigeria and Class 1–6 in India.

How to use it

• Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.
• Print the answer key too, so marking takes seconds.
• Play it on screen: answers are marked instantly and children earn stars.
• Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.

Tips for parents and teachers

1. 1Hold back the answer and give a small hint instead (“Look at the top row”), so the “aha!” moment stays theirs.
2. 2Mark each find with a highlighter or coloured pencil; seeing progress keeps children going.
3. 3Pick a regular time – after a snack, say – so practice becomes a habit rather than a battle.
