"Taking Words Apart" - Compound Words

Children need to learn to separate words into their component parts so that they can learn to decode unfamiliar words.

One of the first and easiest ways to 'break up' words is to look at compound words.

Here is a couple of picture sheets I made for my students some years ago. I have laminated them, and I re-use them each year to help my beginner readers.
