Every word here is four letters long and every one of them is something a child can point at. BALL. MOON. DUCK. CAKE. The grid is built to be finished rather than survived, which is the whole point when somebody is still sounding letters out loud.

The phrase word find turns up about as often as word search, so treat these 11 children words as whichever you prefer.

Frequently asked questions

What age is this suitable for?

Early readers, roughly five to seven, who can recognise short familiar words but are not ready for long ones.

How can I help a child who gets stuck?

Say the word aloud, point to its first letter, and let them scan the rows for that letter on their own.
