Word Catch

Worksheet Description

Learners search a grid to find hidden “-ug” words and mark them. Distractors raise the challenge so students must attend to every letter. The puzzle format turns targeted practice into a game. Finishing requires patience and careful scanning.

Word searches build visual discrimination and sustained attention. Repeated spotting of the same rime strengthens automaticity. Students practice strategy-row-by-row, column-by-column-which supports executive functioning. The playful setting increases motivation and memory retention.
