My 5 1/2 year old LOVES word searches. I accidentally found out he could do them when we did one together at a restaurant even with words he did not know. He can do these in this book by himself and enjoys them so much. He is a very active kid but sometimes just wants to sit and work quietly and this is his go-to activity besides coloring. Do your child a favor and teach them a strategy first. We start at the top left and go down then up the next column and down the third, etc. - Looking for the first letter. Then he holds that letter with his finger while he traces a block around it with his pencil eraser, looking for letter #2. After he finds that one he looks for #3, etc, then crosses off the word. I ask him to actually read the word first (not just look at the letter order) before he starts looking for it, so it is reinforcing reading skills as well! Teaching them to read a word backward and diagonal is a challenge at first, but he's totally got it now. When circling around a found word, I just tell him to connect the bottom of each letter together and that keeps those diagonal bubbles lined up. Yes these are skills an older child would know, but this is a word search book for young early readers. Lots of fun!*The only thing I would change- and this applies to most word searches I have seen-- WHY are the hidden words in capital letters and the word list in lowercase? How confusing! My son knows all his letters but there was definitely an adjustment period where he had to switch from looking at an "e" in the word list and looking for an "E" in the word search. Maybe it inadvertently strengthened his ability to transition that way, but if so I know it was inadvertent. This is something that is missed in the creation of these types of books.
