Help pupils consolidate spelling patterns with 7 uncluttered word searches designed for recognition and retrieval after explicit teaching.

Each pupil page contains a large 12 x 12 grid and an evenly distributed, unnumbered 8-word bank in 18 pt text. Words run forwards across or down only. Eco files use true black text and restrained answer shading.

What’s included:

• 7-page colour pupil PDF.
• • 7-page eco black-and-white pupil PDF.
• • 7-page colour answer-key PDF.
• • 7-page eco black-and-white answer-key PDF.
• • teacher guide with curriculum positioning and teaching notes.

Search sequence:

1. Find the dge, ge and g Words.
2. 1. Find the c, kn, gn and wr Words.
3. 1. Find the Word Endings.
4. 1. Find the y-change Words.
5. 1. Find the Suffix Changes.
6. 1. Find the Spelling Patterns.
7. 1. Find the tion and Mixed Words.

Use after explicit phonics or spelling teaching for retrieval, morning work, early finishers, homework, literacy centres or supported intervention.

UK English is used throughout. The pack supports Selected statutory spelling-pattern headings from Spelling - work for year 2 from the Department for Education spelling appendix. The selected example words are practice vocabulary.

Word searches reinforce recognition and retrieval; they do not independently teach spelling rules, meanings or application in writing.

The ÌÇÐÄVlog upload contains a native 4:3 cover followed by four 7-page classroom PDFs and the teacher guide.
