Word Search Worksheets

Word Search Worksheets offer fun spelling practice! This one features #spellingwords with silent letters.

Word search worksheets can provide an easy way for students to do some extra spelling practice. Why? For some reason, kids (and adults, too!) always seem to enjoy solving word search puzzles. Maybe it's because solving the puzzle is so much fun that it doesn't seem like real work!

Silent Letter Search

Use the printable link to get the entire puzzle and word list. On it, you'll see that students must first supply the missing consonants, then look for the completed words in the puzzle.
