Compound Words
A compound word is made up of two words that come together to make a whole new word.
*Tip*
Give your
child a compound word and ask him/her to tell you the two words that make
up the compound word. An example would be "cowgirl"
What are
the two words in cowgirl?
cow and girl
We also do
this activity in phonics -
I will say,
"Say the word cowgirl."
(children
repeat)
"Say it without
cow."
(children
say girl)
