About this word search
These twenty-eight jobs ask more of the reader. Optometrist, Pharmacist and Translator are words many kids know but rarely spell. A few have curious histories. Midwife comes from Old English and means with the woman, and a Locksmith works with locks just as a blacksmith works with iron.
Expect words in all eight directions, several of them written right to left. Two-word titles like News anchor and Crossing guard have no spaces, so look for long letter runs. Uncommon pairs, like the PH in Photographer and Pharmacist, give you a foothold.
For students thinking about careers, the list makes a good starting point for a short interview with a family member or neighbor about the work they do.
