Flag Day, Father's Day, solstice
The easy list is short words: Papa, Daddy, Bait, Porch. Medium, the opening sheet, holds Father, Flagpole, Solstice and Bobber. The hard list reaches Third Sunday and Lightning bug, at 11 and 12 letters.
The last sheet of the year
Use it in the final school week or send it home for summer: Report card and Summer break are on the hard list. Graduation words have a page of their own. Each press of New scramble deals the letters again.
- Father, Papa, Daddy and Grandpa make a Father's Day set: pupils can write them on a card after the sheet.
- Longest day and Solstice pair up: ask pupils why June evenings stay light so late.
