If you loved using one puzzle pack, you know how easily these fit into your week. Now you can enjoy seamless, print-and-go activities for every stage of the book — from building vocabulary with word searches during your read-aloud to checking understanding with crosswords at the end of each Part. This bundle keeps students engaged, reinforces key skills, and saves you from hunting for additional materials.

What’s Included in the Bundle:

• Word Search Puzzle Pack — 8 chapter-based word searches (one per narrative Part) plus 2 whole-book review word searches, strengthening vocabulary recognition, spelling, and visual scanning with Tier 2 and Tier 3 terms pulled straight from the text
• Crossword Puzzle Pack — 8 chapter-based crosswords (one per Part) plus 2 whole-book review crosswords, challenging students to recall characters, plot events, vocabulary, and themes through literal and inference-based clues
• 20 puzzles total covering every section of the novel, from Part 1 (August) through Part 8 (August), and including a comprehensive review
• Complete answer keys for every puzzle — quick, stress-free grading or student self-checking
• Well-illustrated designs with thematic artwork that appeals to upper elementary and middle school readers
• Available in both full-color and black & white versions — photocopy-friendly and ink-conscious
•  80 pages of engaging, print-and-go content — absolutely no prep required, just print the puzzle you need, and you’re set

These puzzles work beautifully as literacy centers, early finisher activities, morning work, homework, sub plans, chapter quizzes, test review, group work, or independent practice. With both recognition-based (word search) and recall-based (crossword) activities, you can naturally differentiate within your class — offering quick wins for developing readers and deeper challenges for advanced students, all within the same novel study framework.

Your students will practice close reading for textual evidence, interpreting word meaning in context, and acquiring grade-appropriate academic and domain-specific vocabulary, all while staying connected to the kindness, courage, and friendship at the heart of Wonder. Aligned to Common Core ELA Standards RL.4.1, RL.4.4, L.4.4, L.4.6 (and corresponding standards for grades 5–7), this bundle supports the exact skills you’re already targeting.

Save 10% compared to purchasing both packs individually — and walk away with a complete vocabulary and comprehension puzzle set for the entire novel.
