Compound Words for Kindergarten and Grade 1
Compound words are made by joining two smaller words to create a new word with its own meaning. For example, sun + flower = sunflower.
When children practise segmenting compound words, they learn to break a word into its two smaller words. This helps them understand how words are formed and builds important early reading skills.
Why Teach Compound Words?
Learning compound words helps children:
- Build vocabulary by learning new words and their meanings.
- Improve decoding skills by recognising familiar words within longer words.
- Develop reading comprehension by understanding how words are formed and what they mean.
