Spotlight on Words - Book One
Book One - Phonic wordsearch puzzles and activities to help the development of spelling skills
This is a collection of 30 wordsearch puzzles and fill-in-the-blank activities designed to help in the development of spelling skills. Each puzzle is based on a specific vowel or sound combination, so the book can be used by teachers as part of a structured approach to spelling and to concentrate learning activity where it is needed most.
The skills developed by Spotlight on Words - Book 1 include:
- visual discrimination through searching for hidden words.
- alphabetic sequencing practice by listing the words found.
- following contextual clues through fill-in-the-blank exercises.
- use of a process of elimination by completing the more difficult blanks.
- use of the connection between spelling and meaning.
- development of the ability to spot capital letters.
- understanding word segmentation and syllable blending.
The puzzles are most appropriate for ages 9 to 12 but they are also valuable over a wider age range, including adults and those learning English as a Second Language. The clear design of the puzzles guides the reader's eye and the hidden words run only across or down, making this book an excellent resource for dyslexic students.
