Sneaky spelling practice
Word searches make readers stare at letter order — which is exactly what spelling needs. The themed lists keep the vocabulary coherent, and ticking words off the bank turns it into a satisfying checklist. For classrooms, Easy suits ages 6-8, Tricky adds diagonals for confident readers, and Hard hides some words backwards.
Extension idea: after finding the words, have learners use three of them in sentences on the back of the sheet.
