Words within Words [4 pages]

Focus on specific features of words to identify complete words.

This activity is suitable for KS2. Differentiation is by peer support: children can work individually, in pairs or group, but should have individual copies. It is also useful as a homework sheet, but a dictionary should be available for checking.

Children highlight/circle words within the words given. Number of repeats indicates number of words to be found. They should be encouraged to use a dictionary to check if a letter combination they have found is an actual word.

A further activity would be to put each small group/row of groups/

complete page of identified words into alphabetical order

NB Although answers have been provided there are some other words to be found in some groups

The first set of words is from ‘The Enormous Crocodile’ -Roald Dahl
