Who’s it for?
This word search has been carefully designed to encourage young readers in the early years and pupils in years one and two (as well as students needing additional learning support) with reading key words.

Resource layout
This Seasons and Months of the Year word search includes related vocabulary and how many words are hidden (x16) on page 1. The answers (page 2) clearly show where all words are hidden with coloured lines, including their direction with arrows.

The x12 months and x4 seasons of the year are hidden in a x10 by x10 square grid, with the hidden words clearly listed in four (seasonal) groups underneath.

Page 1
The words for the twelve months have been organised into groups of four according to which season they are part of. The box for each season has been colour coded (in the colour version) to make this clearer, the ‘season word’ for each group is also hidden within the word search. There are x16 words to find in total. All words are hidden with lower case letters.

The directions of these hidden words are…

• horizontal (forwardsand backwards)
• vertical (up as well as down)
• diagonal (forwards)

The hidden words to find are…

• Winter
• December
• January
• February
• Spring
• March
• April
• May
• Summer
• June
• July
• August
• Autumn

Page 2
The layout is exactly the same design as page 1 making cross referencing the answers quick and easy and encouraging learners to be autonomous. The position of the hidden words is made clear by the colour coded lines as well as a small arrow to the left of each word which identifies the direction of the hidden word.

Recommendations
When completing the word search, we recommend using a highlighter pen. This keeps all letters visible, as some are used in more than one word. The word search can also be laminated for repeated use.
