About this word search

If you have a nickel and a loonie handy, show your child the Beaver and the Loon on the coins before you start. It makes the words feel real.

The animals in this ten by ten grid keep to two tracks, reading rightward on a row or downward in a column. Point to a word, say it slowly, and look for its opening letter. Elk, Fox and Owl are only three letters, so make sure the next two really follow.

Afterwards, ask which of the ten animals your child has seen for real, at a park, at the cottage or in a book. A Moose is a rare sighting for most families, a Fox much less so.
