How to use it
Read the rules at the top together and try the first step side by side. Use a pencil so mistakes rub out easily, and check every answer at the end. It is one of the easier sheets for Grade 2, good as a warm-up or a first look at the skill.
An answer key comes with it as a separate page that grown-ups download after signing in.
Tip for grown-ups: Say the clue first; knowing the meaning makes unscrambling much easier.
Done on paper? A grown-up can record it on the child's page in PlayOwl; downloading alone doesn't count as finished.
