Staff Response To Code Threat Gray

DIRECTIONS and SUGGESTIONS: 1) Scan back and forth along each row of the letter grid, looking for the first letter in a word. Also scan up and down each column of the grid. 2) Use a finger or the (capped) end of your pen or pencil to help guide your search. 3) Do a circle search around letters to see whether they lead on to the next letter in the word you’re looking for. 4) Use a highlighter pen or light-colored pencil if you want to mark on top of the words you find. Otherwise, use a pen or pencil to draw loops around the words. 5) Search for less-common letters in a word, such as J, B, K, Q, X, Y, or Z. This strategy makes the rest of the word easier to find. 6)Search the grid for the double letters in a list word. 7) Look for circular letters, especially O, D, and Q. 8) If you see a Q in the grid with no adjacent U, you probably don’t need to follow it any further. 9) Cross off the words in the list as you find them.
