My First Word Search: Fun with Letters

Say A! When children grasp phonicsP#8212;the sounds created by letter combinationsP#8212;theyP#8217;re on their way to mastering reading. And the more fun they have as they learn, the faster their skills will grow and the more fully theyP#8217;ll absorb the information. ThatP#8217;s why these word searches turn learning letters into a game. Each puzzle presents just one letter or sound, like Pquot;babyPquot; and Pquot;platePquot; for LONG A; Pquot;cityPquot; and Pquot;dancePquot; for SOFT C; and Pquot;jab,Pquot; Pquot;jam,Pquot; and Pquot;jellyPquot; for J words. ThereP#8217;s only a small list of words to find so children can easily complete the puzzles without becoming bored or losing their concentration. Adorable line drawings, such as a cute alligator painting, a cow going up-up-up in a balloon, and a zebra in a zig-zaggy zippered coat, add to the kid-appeal.
