work, literacy centres or calming busy classrooms.
This printable back-to-school word search pack is designed for Early Years and Key Stage 1 learners aged 4 to 7. Each 15 by 15 puzzle includes simple sight words such as book, bus and happy. All words appear only from left to right and top to bottom, which makes them ideal for beginner readers.
This resource is excellent for building letter recognition, vocabulary and visual scanning skills. Pupils will also practise fine motor control as they circle each word, boosting their confidence through independent work.
You will receive twenty themed word search puzzles with topics such as school supplies, feelings, classroom rules, colours, the playground, storytime and more. The pack also includes five answer key sheets with four solutions per page to help save on printing.
This printable is in black and white, ready to print on US Letter size paper (8.5 by 11 inches) and works well on A4 too. No preparation is required – just print and go.
Teachers often use this activity for first-day morning work, literacy centres, early finishers, quiet time, or emergency sub plans. It also fits well with homeschool or SEND back-to-school themes.
As an optional extension, pupils can draw or colour one of the words they found to connect word recognition with creative expression.
