The worksheet titled "Word Find Puzzles With Repeated Words" features a word find puzzle at the top of the page. The directions instruct students to look for words that are written right and down, making it different from a traditional word find that also lists words horizontally.

Another thing that makes this word find unique is the fact that each word might be found multiple times in the puzzle. Each of the words is accompanied by a sentence at the bottom of the page, where students can write how many times they find it. For example, one sentence might read, "I found LUNCHES ____ time (s)." Each sentence is accompanied by a series of boxes that students can check off as they find the word every time in the puzzle. A list of numbers is also provided. Each number goes in the blank one time, which helps students double-check their work as they solve the puzzle.

Finding new ways for students to practice spelling can keep them engaged. Not to mention, repetition of activities that use the same words can help students retain how they're spelled. It can be especially helpful for students to complete worksheets where the same words are used within the same activity.

Word finds are a good example. Instead of creating a word find where each word is found only once, create a word find where the same words can be found multiple times within the puzzle. Students can write how many times they find each word. You can even ask them if they found any other words in the puzzle that weren't listed, which supports word recognition and problem-solving.
