Get two complete, no-prep puzzle packs at one discounted price with this word search and crossword bundle designed for use with Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery. Together, these 24 puzzles cover every chapter of the novel — from Anne’s arrival at Bright River to the bend in the road — giving your students two distinct ways to build vocabulary, deepen comprehension, and stay engaged with the text.

If you’ve ever wished for a resource that could serve as a vocabulary warm-up one day and a chapter review quiz the next, this bundle is it. One pack reinforces word recognition through visual scanning; the other pushes students toward recall, inference, and close reading. With zero prep required and answer keys for every puzzle, you’ll have a flexible, print-and-go toolkit that works from the first week of your novel study straight through to final review.

What’s Included in the Bundle:

Word Search Puzzle Pack (12 puzzles, ~48 pages)

• 10 unit-based word searches covering all 38 chapters, grouped into the same 10 novel-study units
• 2 cumulative whole-book review word searches with 20 words each
• 15 chapter-specific words per unit puzzle and 20 words per review puzzle, mixing character names, places, Tier 2 vocabulary (IMAGINATION, INDIGNANT, CATECHISM), and key plot terms
• Full answer keys, plus both color and black-and-white versions

Crossword Puzzle Pack (12 puzzles, ~48 pages)

• 10 unit-based crosswords aligned to the same chapter groupings, plus 2 whole-book review crosswords
• 15 clues per unit puzzle and 20 clues per review puzzle, using a deliberate mix of definition, character identity, plot-event, fill-in-the-blank, and inference clues
• Built-in differentiation — each puzzle includes 5 literal/easy clues, 7 medium clues, and 3 harder clues that demand deeper analysis
• Full answer keys, both color and ink-saving black-and-white versions

Together, that’s 24 puzzles, approximately 96 pages of content, and two complete vocabulary-and-comprehension sets that work beautifully as literacy center rotations, early-finisher baskets, sub plans, homework, morning work, end-of-unit reviews, and whole-class warm-ups. Use the word searches for quick vocabulary reinforcement, then follow up with the crosswords to check understanding and spark discussion — the parallel unit structure makes planning seamless.

Skills reinforced across both packs align to CCSS Reading: Literature standards RL.6.1, RL.7.1, RL.8.1 (citing textual evidence), RL.6.4, RL.7.4, RL.8.4 (word meaning in context), and Language standards L.6.4, L.7.4, L.8.4 and L.6.6, L.7.6, L.8.6 for vocabulary acquisition and use.

Get the bundle on Teachers Pay Teachers today and have your entire novel study’s worth of vocabulary and comprehension puzzles ready in minutes — all with one download and a price that saves you money compared to buying each pack separately.
