Word Finds
The word finds presented here have been carefully formatted to look attractive and encourage students to not only find the spelling for words, but to indicate through pictures or diagrams what the words actually mean.  They focus for the main part on common nouns, verbs and adjectives from the three-tiered proficiency assessment system represented in the Cambridge Young Learner English Tests.  With "starters" being the basic level and "flyers" being the advanced level, teachers may be able to determine at which stages of their own curriculums the word finds ought to be applied.  The "starters" word finds presented here also work at building up lexical sets (for example, parts of the body, animals, clothing, household items).  English Raven members also have access to a special word find that requires students to find various forms of verbs according to tense - a combined vocabulary/grammar word find, as well as two 'jumbo/super' wordfinds for the Starters and Movers levels that incorporate between 200-300 basic vocabulary items each and include detailed Guides for ideas on how to implement them in class.
