Maze: large (ages 8+)
How to use this worksheet
- Ask your child to scan each corridor with the eyes only before drawing, moving from one end to the other without skipping.
- Solve the first 16×12 maze with a pencil, following the route without lifting it from the page.
- For the second maze, first trace the path with a finger at reading speed, then draw it.
What this worksheet teaches
Reading requires the eyes to track steadily, stop at the right places and return without losing position. Large mazes practice very similar skills: following a line across 192 cells, noticing where a corridor branches and finding the way back after a dead end. This is not a reading program, but it gives extra visual scanning practice in a playful, low-pressure format.
Play idea
Hide letters along the correct path: solve the maze yourself first, then write a few letters in cells of the solution so they spell a short word. Your child collects the letters while solving and reads the secret word at the exit.
