Compound Words

I went to get things ready to teach compound words that tied into my spelling list.  I starting mapping it all out, creating, etc.  Then I stumbled over some files I already had from a teacher - perfect!  The teacher who shared her these ideas was at a reading conference and the end of her career as a reading specialist in California, amazing lady.  I'm going to try out her stuff this week to help my kids advance in their compound reading skills.  If you are interested in downloading the files, click here to go to Teachers Notebook.  Here's some pics of what it looks like:

Earlier in the year I taught my kids a little jingle with simple hand actions to help them relate to compound words:

"You take one word and one and make it one word"

word + word = compound word

right hand out + left hand out = both hands together
