Palindromes Many children are fascinated by words, especially when they show peculiarities or idiosyncrasies. Palindromes fit this category well. A palindrome is a word which spells the same forwards or backwards, such as BIB. Not only is there a good selection of 3 or 4 letter palindromes, but whole phrases have been made. Perhaps the most famous of these is: A MAN, A PLAN, A CANAL, PANAMA. This week we have published a fun set of pages which take a close look at palindromes. How many can you find? Can you make new ones up? This is just a very small part of our extensive vocabulary worksheets, well worth a look! Palindrome worksheets.
