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
