About this resource

Challenge and engage your learners during a new class transition with this Year 4 wordsearch activity, designed to strengthen key SPaG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar) skills while promoting independence and problem-solving. Ideal for SPaG lessons, early finishers, revision activities, or homework, this resource supports spelling accuracy, vocabulary development, and contextual understanding. The vocabulary is aligned with Year 3 and Year 4 expectations, making it perfect for consolidating prior learning while introducing an added level of challenge. This wordsearch uses the same carefully selected vocabulary as the Year 3 version but increases complexity with a larger grid and more advanced word placement. Words can appear horizontally, vertically, and diagonally, and in both forward and backwards directions, providing a greater challenge for Year 4 learners or pupils working at Greater Depth in Year 3. This versatile and low-prep activity is ideal for reinforcing literacy skills in an engaging format while encouraging perseverance, scanning skills, and attention to detail. Key Features: Designed for Year 4 and Greater Depth Year 3 learners Supports SPaG, spelling accuracy, and vocabulary development More challenging format with a larger grid Words placed horizontally, vertically, diagonally, forwards and backwards Ideal for early finishers, homework, revision, or transition activitiesRead more
