Compound words are a fun and accessible way to introduce the idea that words can have multiple parts – morphemes. Exploring compound words helps teach and clarify phonics patterns and spelling rules. These puzzles will not only help you teach the meanings of unfamiliar words but also illustrate the interconnected nature of words, guiding learners towards a deeper understanding of words with prefixes and suffixes. As a tool for unlocking unfamiliar words, improving spelling, and building vocabulary, compound words are a must!
