Word Chase

Worksheet Description

This word search expands to slightly longer “-it” words such as sit, wit, admit, commit, emit, and permit. Students must find each of these words in the letter grid. The task mixes both short and multisyllabic words, balancing accessibility and challenge. It requires close attention to spelling.

This type of activity enhances orthographic mapping, helping students link letter sequences to sounds. It boosts critical thinking as learners locate hidden words among distractors. The variety of word lengths develops flexibility in decoding. Students also practice concentration and persistence, valuable literacy skills.
