Autumn Wordsearch

Description

Encourage early reading and word recognition with this engaging Autumn-themed EYFS Word Search, designed to support children as they develop their phonics knowledge and begin reading simple CVC words.

Children search for autumn-themed CVC words hidden within the grid. All words appear horizontally and vertically in the forward direction, making the activity accessible for young learners who are beginning to segment and blend sounds. As they locate each word, children strengthen their letter recognition, visual scanning and decoding skills while building confidence with early reading.

Suitable for children who have learnt some letter sounds and are beginning to blend and segment CVC words, this resource offers an enjoyable way to reinforce phonics learning through independent or adult-supported practice.

Perfect for nurseries, preschools, Reception classrooms and childminders, this seasonal literacy activity is ideal for phonics lessons, continuous provision, independent learning or intervention groups.
