How to use it

Look over the word list together before the search begins. Cross each word off the list as it is found. It is pitched at the expected level for Grade 1, for practice after the skill has been taught.

An answer key comes with it as a separate page that grown-ups download after signing in.

Tip for grown-ups: Read the word list aloud first and talk about any word that is new.

Done on paper? A grown-up can record it on the child's page in PlayOwl; downloading alone doesn't count as finished.
