Huntington Beach Library ◯ Puzzle Me This, Puzzle Me That

Puzzle Me This, Puzzle Me That

Puzzle Maker has a great variety. We love the WORD SEARCH because it’s a fun way to reinforce spelling and recognition and to learn relevant vocabulary.
Choose the size of the puzzle, type in vocabulary words, and your puzzle is created for you. For a tactile experience, copy it to a Word doc so you and your learner can take pen to paper.


Relevant vocabulary is everywhere: a book you’re reading together, today’s news items, the DMV manual, a magazine article or a book they are reading with their child. The only limitation is your imagination (and we KNOW there is no limit to that).  READ MORE ➤➤
