Book excerpt: Here’s another portion of puzzle fun for four-to-six-year-olds! Specially designed to meet the needs and interests of the youngest readers, First Word Search series turns learning into a game. This phonics-based collection builds children’s language skills by helping kids master new syllables, sounds, and words--including the long A in wave, the sk in skeleton, and the short U in puppy--and then bring that knowledge to their reading.
