About this word search

Mud may well be the favourite word on this list for many five year olds, and it sits happily alongside Hen, Egg and Lamb. All ten are short and spelt the way they sound, which suits a child who is putting letters together for the first time.

Words here run only across and down. Read the first one together, then let your child look along the top row for its opening letter before moving down to the next row. Going row by row like this turns the search into a calm routine instead of a scramble.

Later on, draw a little farm and label each animal with the word your child found.
