7Your child will take a journey with words that leads all over the world. Word Searches, an Activity Zone workbook, offers pages and pages of word puzzles but also delivers lessons in science, history, and the arts. Meet people: explorers, pioneers, and authors. Encounter ecosystems: mountains, rivers, oceans and seas. The easy-to-read descriptions introduce intriguing facts and concepts. As just one example, a word search puzzle related to the desert goes hand in hand with micro lessons on camels, cacti and climate adaptation. Handy reference maps strengthen world geography and map-reading skills, and dozens of "Think about it!" questions stimulate imagination and critical thinking. Vocabulary expands, and so does multi-subject learning!
