Back To School Word Search Puzzles

Back to school word search puzzles can be a relaxing educational activity for the beginning of a school year.

I find word searches especially useful for helping students learn spelling words. Spelling is worked on, as the whole idea of the puzzle is to focus on finding the letters that make up each word. They will be looking at the letters that make up a word, possibly repeating the letters to themselves as they search for a word, and further reinforcing the words spellings when they find the letters in the puzzle.
