FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “Free Compound Words - Candy Theme”

by Growing Smart Readers
Kindergarten - 3rd Grade


Your kids will have fun with compound words!

This is a low prep interactive activity for reinforcing compound words for reading and writing. The compound words are large enough to cut up and paste, or simply manipulate compound word halves (candy halves) to form complete words. Other practice with this reading activity includes writing words in ABC order, and writing compound words. After reading them, practice spelling them! Fun to color when the activity has been completed.

Perfect for small group or independent practice!
