According to science 80% of a child's daily vocabulary is made up of a short list of words called High Frequency Words. Making sure that a child has a good grasp of these words secures a great trajectory for language development. Practicing the words within a natural context is the proven best way to retain and understand new words.

• Give your child this book and let them solve the word searches independently.
• Go over some of the words with your child and give examples of when the word is used.
• Play out an example of the use of the word.
• This process gives Distinctiveness to the words, which is the most powerful factor for language learning!
• A little practice each day and your child will suck up the words like a sponge!

The words within this word search book have been specifically picked for kids aged 6-8 which corresponds to grades 1-2. Most of the word searches are for grade 2, but this is natural as the vocabulary of your child rises steadily with time. However, most kids enjoy doing the word searches for both grades 1 and 2!
