They Help Develop Word Recognition I’m the first to admit, they’re not for everything (but what single technique is?). They can be frustrating, especially for students with a learning difference. They look ridiculous next to advanced products and activities. They look like everything wrong with a worksheet culture. There’s a lot to hate about wordsearches.
