Word search for kids offers a fun filled way to improve their logic and reasoning skills. From the age of six, these puzzles can prove to be an asset if you can make your child love solving one every day. Research has proven that the logical aspect of word search helps a child's brain think and focus deeply, thus making it better at retaining knowledge and information because with improved reasoning abilities come higher IQ levels and intellectual abilities.
According to research; "It is critical for children to develop fluency in word recognition. When they are fluent, word recognition requires far less mental effort, freeing up the child's cognitive capacity for understanding what is read".
Furthermore, the research has shown that the use of Word Search puzzle Games is capable of the following:
- Helps Low English proficiency pupils to enhance their word recognition skill
- Is a good mechanism to train kids and pupils to be alert and focus in their task.
- Word puzzles help with deciphering and decoding skills, which are later tested in life on placement tests. The scanning ability helps with reading charts, graphs, and other data such as an airport departure schedule board.
- They help to improve and practice spelling rules they have learnt at school, while at the same time reinforcing those rules each time they are used.
- The more words your child comes across, uses and understands; the broader their vocabulary will become. Word search puzzles can be a great and easy way to increase your child's exposure to new vocabulary.
- They improve your child's working memory helping both long-term and short-term memory to work together. This can then also have an effect on their learning and achievement.
- Word search puzzles can help improve your child's processing speed, so that they are able to problem solve and arrive at the correct answer, faster.
- Word search Crosswords encourage and improve problem-solving skills by asking children to think outside the box, engaging their problem-solving skills and creativity.
- They foster persistence because they can be challenging, some more than others. At times, they require more than one attempt to reach the correct answer. Persistence is often needed to keep trying once one has failed repeatedly to solve the puzzle, which in itself is a good lesson for children to learn.
- Word puzzles help to develop the skills your child will need throughout their school career: verbal reasoning, vocabulary, problem-solving, spelling, grammar and memory, the more these skills are practiced, the better your child becomes at using and accessing them
