Animal Boxed Words

$2.50

Every word becomes a shape. Match the word to its boxes, then write it, and letter size and placement start to make sense.

What’s inside

  • 17 pages, one animal theme per page: Zoo, Safari, Reptiles, Pets, Birds, Arctic, Farm, Rainforest, Desert, Australia, Endangered, Bugs, Nocturnal, Forest, Fresh Water, Mythical and Ocean
  • On every page: a word list of 12 animal words and 12 empty word shapes to match and write

Skills it builds

  • Letter sizing
  • Letter placement
  • Visual discrimination

How to use

Read the word list out loud together. Pick a shape and count the boxes: how many letters? Which boxes reach up, and which ones drop below? Find the word that fits, then write it one letter per box. Do one or two pages at a time. Prep time: 1 minute.

You’ll need

A pencil.
