Spell and Find

See the picture. Spell the word. Then hunt it down! 🔎✏️

The Spell and Find Book is a fun 12-page printable literacy resource for children aged 6+, combining early spelling practice with exciting word-search activities. It gives children the opportunity to recognise familiar pictures, work out how the words are spelled and then find those same words hidden in a letter grid.

What Is the Spell and Find Book About?

Each activity page combines picture recognition, spelling and word finding in one engaging worksheet.

Children first look at the pictures and write the corresponding words into the letter blocks. They can then use the word list to search for the words hidden inside the grid. The activity pages feature a wide variety of familiar three-letter words and picture clues, providing repeated spelling practice without making every page feel exactly the same.

It’s a simple idea with plenty of learning packed inside: look → recognise → spell → find!

Why Parents and Teachers Will Love It

Learning to spell becomes much more enjoyable when children have something to solve and discover.

Rather than simply copying a list of words, children need to connect each picture to its word, think about the letters needed to spell it and then visually search for that word in the grid.

This helps reinforce the same vocabulary in different ways while encouraging children to work independently and pay close attention to letter patterns.
