Compound Words Adventure!
Welcome to a super fun way to build your first grader’s vocabulary. If you’ve ever seen your child light up when they realize that “cup” and “cake” make “cupcake,” then you know how magical this learning moment can be.
This worksheet is designed to do just that. We remember working with a little learner who was stuck on reading longer words. But when we framed it as “smushing two small words together,” it clicked instantly! Their confidence soared.
Part 1: Let’s Learn!
Look at the example below. We combined two pictures to make one brand new word!
[Image of an eye] + [Image of a ball] = eyeball
Part 2: Your Turn! Can you solve the puzzles?
Directions: Look at the two pictures in each box. What are they? Write the two words on the lines below. Then, combine them to make a brand-new compound word!
