Word games are a favorite among hyperlexic kids. It's why something like these Scrabble math games were a favorite of my son's for like forever. As were word searches.
But one other type of word game that my son loves is word scrambles. I personally loved them as a kid too and still do enjoy them as an adult as well. So I'm super stoked that he likes them as well.
So that's where this fall word scramble comes in. It's currently fall/autumn. (Although it might not look like it at the moment with the small layer of snow I see outside my window as I type this.) We like word games. So it seemed like a no-brainer to combine the two, right?
By the way, did I mention that this fall word scramble PDF is free? It sure is!
