Read each clue and say a possible answer before writing. Count its letters while pointing at the cells. For picture clues, name the object first so that recognizing the image is separate from spelling it.
What to check
Work in pairs if useful: one person reads and the other writes, then swap roles. Keep clues visible and check one crossing letter at a time. Choose material that matches comfortable reading skills.
Check the form of the answer
Check singular or plural and letter count as well as meaning. Follow the activity’s convention for spaces, accents and other marks. When an answer will not fit, check its crossings too: the difficult clue may not be where the mistake began.
