About this word search
For a new entrant, the first weeks are full of new things: a teacher's name to learn, a hook for the bag and a lunchbox to open without help. These ten words are the ones they hear every day in the classroom.
The grid is ten by ten and every word reads from left to right or from top to bottom. Lunchbox is the longest with eight letters. Book, bell, desk and glue have only four, so look for them last. Rubber has a double B, a good clue for little eyes.
Read each word out loud before you start and let your child point to the real thing in the room or the school bag. Colour each found word with a different pencil.
