Description
Effective, engaging, and easy-to-use, these Word Search Puzzles are so much better than another boring phonics worksheet.
They are perfect for homework, seatwork, extra credit, and learning centers.
Helping to imprint the sounds for automatic recognition later, more than 75 words in three puzzles use an engaging format to provide extra decoding practice for "tion" (shun) for beginning and struggling readers and spellers.
Many students need the extra practice that common instructional materials often do not provide.
The puzzles provide practice in visually “chunking” words that some students need, especially those who have failed at hearing and blending sounds in traditional phonics instruction.
Neurological research indicates that humans make connections in their brains using patterns, and these Word Searches are based on the most common word families in English.
Lower case letters are used in all of Reading Spotlight’s Word Search Puzzles because lower case is used in the majority of print.
The words can be found across and down only. Diagonal and backwards defeats the purpose of the extra practice in cluster recognition.
Effective for reading levels 3-5, they might also be used with better readers in grade 2 and with struggling readers above grade 5.
Other Word Search Puzzles by Reading Spotlight include:
Word Search: Silent Consonants
Word Search: Double Vowel Words
Word Search: R-Controlled Vowel Words
All are available in a Giant Word Search Bundle. Once students are familiar with the format, they can complete easily for extra practice homework or seat work.
Thank you for considering these effective and enjoyable decoding resources.
Phonics and spelling practice can be fun!
