Well, if not completely away, it's a good start.
Word searches in general are a great way to learn and improve memory. Spending a few seconds or minutes searching for a word makes you value it more, and hence remember it more.
Long term benefits include improved vocabulary, pattern recognition, working memory and spelling.
This particular book has word searches on a wide variety of topics, including wildlife, geography, world and US history etc.
There are word searches for people of different ages and different ranges of vocabulary. It's not only for kids; it's for anyone who enjoys a good puzzle.
Enjoy!!!.......
