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 one of the harder sheets for Pre-K, best once the basics of the skill are secure.
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.
