September Word Searches

I love word searches for the classroom.

They are perfect for having students spot beginning letters and words in a group of text which I feel strengthens reading skills.

All each child needs is a highlighter.

Ideal for centers, partner work, morning work, or "I'm done...what next!"

There are 11  word searches for each month.
