Lorax Word Search
This is a word search for Dr Seuss’ story ‘The Lorax’, including a key. Look for the words running on the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal both forwards and backwards.
It is a part of a larger fables unit for students, where they learn to read for the moral lesson, in both ancient and modern examples, before constructing their own fable.
