They also encourage active engagement, which helps learners retain information more effectively. By practicing in this interactive way, learners can strengthen their memory and comprehension skills in a fun and low-pressure environment.

President's Day : A Cryptogram for English Learners

President's Day

This week's puzzle contains a quote from a former U.S. president—but there’s a twist! The letters were scrambled into a simple substitution cipher in which each letter of the alphabet was replaced with a number. Can your students break the code and find the words of wisdom hidden inside?

This activity is ideal for English or social studies classrooms, as it improves language skills, logical reasoning, and historical awareness. Encourage students to decode the message using letter frequency analysiscontext clues, and their understanding of presidential rhetoric.

After they have solved it, talk about the quote's meaning and its relevance today. And if you’d like to check your answer, the key to the cryptogram is included at the bottom of this post.

Good luck, and happy decoding!
