My First Puzzles

Learning to read is easier when it's turned into an entertaining game, and that's just what these puzzles do! Each one offers five- and six-year-olds plenty of enjoyment, so they won't even realize that they're really building skills. For "Flower Power"--an easy form of crossword--young solvers have to place the names of different flowers into the correct spaces on a grid. "It Starts with H" is a simple word search: kids have to look across and down to find such words as "harp," "heart," and "home," Plus, they'll solve riddles and anagrams, do some code-breaking, fill in blank spaces to form new words, and have a good time!Hovanec, Helene is the author of 'My First Puzzles', published 2008 under ISBN 9781402746321 and ISBN 1402746326.
