Teaching tips

  • Pair the puzzle with a Cinderella read-aloud so students recognise the words in context before searching for them.

  • Use the editable PPTX version to shorten or simplify the word list for early readers.

  • Have students define or illustrate a few found words (e.g., godmother, slipper) after completing the search.

Skills covered

  • Sight-word scanning — students visually track rows, columns, and diagonals in a letter grid to locate 17 target words.
