Description
What’s included?
This download includes x2 (portrait orientation, pdf) A4 sheets, featuring one January word search (page 1) and answers (page 2).
What’s it for?
Becoming familiar with these January related words (both reading them on-sight and learning the correct spellings) will extend vocabulary - helping improve learners reading and writing, speaking and listening.
Who’s it for?
This word search has been carefully designed to encourage young readers in the early years and pupils in years one and two (as well as students needing additional learning support) with reading key words. Nouns are illustrated to make the meaning of these words clear to learners - which would also benefit pupils with EAL.
Resource layout
The word search letters are arranged in a x12 by x12 square grid, featuring easy to read ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font.
The January words have been organised into four groups of five clearly showing all hidden words below the word search.
There are 20 words to find in total.
Direction of hidden words:
- horizontal (forwards and backwards)
- vertical (up as well as down)
- diagonal (backwards, down)
The 20 hidden words to find are:
- celebration
- midnight
- Happy New Year (no spaces and using lowercase h, n and y to help the words blend in, however a learning note that these words need capital letters is included)
- party
- resolution

- candles

Recommendations
We recommend that learners use a highlighter pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified, some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible. This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused.
