About this resource

What's inside this resource

This is a Learning Compound Words Printable.

It can serve as a great resource if you are introducing or reviewing compound words.

There are 5 pages included.

On the first 4 pages, there are 3 rows on each page. Each row features two pictures to represent adding two words that will equal a compound word.

The last page will have the pictures that are meant to serve as the compound word "answers" in which students will paste in the correct boxes.

The words are as follows:

  1. 1. arm + chair = armchair

  2. 2. basket + ball - basketball

  3. 3. tooth + brush = toothbrush

  4. 4. pan + cake = pancake

  5. 5. butter + fly = butterfly

  6. 6. ear + ring = earring

  7. 7. fire + man = fireman

  8. 8. tree + house = treehouse

  9. 9. jelly + fish = jellyfish

  10. 10. mail + box = mailbox

  11. 11. snow + man = snowman

  12. 12. rain + bow = rainbow

Printing and laminating these pages will be great to utilize them as a reusable small group or center activity. All you have to do is apply Velcro dots to the pages.

For an advanced differentiation, you can have students skip cutting out the pictures. Instead, students can actually spell out the compound word on the chart.

If you wanted to extend this activity, students can write sentences using the compound words.

Your students will love doing this activity independently as well as with a partner!
