Educational Benefits of Word Search Puzzles 

Word puzzles and word games are a fun way to teach letter recognition. While your student is searching for the words in the puzzle they are reading and also quickly memorizing what the words look like.

This helps them to naturally pick up on new words. It also helps to increase their spelling skills as they have to check each letter and make sure they have the correct word.

Word search puzzles are a great quiet time activity that also helps to improve brain health and concentration while decreasing anxiety.
