Individually, words have power, but when added together, they can take on a whole other level of meaning. Readers learn about compound words in the 10th of 17 lessons of the Word Recognition and Fluency series. A script provides guidance as teachers introduce the multi-syllabic words and fun activities, such as a volleyball compound game and compound word math, give learners a chance to practice the skill.
