Compound Words

Your students will create easy-to-read "Flip Booklets" that will allow them to form compound words! Each mini-booklet is on a single piece of paper for ease of use! The students color in the picture of the main word that will be used to create 9 compound words. They then cut out 8 small cards and staple them together to create a booklet in which the cards are "flipped" up to create a new compound word each time.

For example, for the "hand" booklet the students read "handmade." They flip up the word made to reveal the word writing while the word hand remains. They then read "handwriting." This continues with handbag, handball, handout, handshake, handstand and others to give them a total of nine different compound words all using hand.

In this book, compound word flip booklets are made from the following words: ball, book, board, down, eye, foot, hand, head, home, house, line, night, over, time, up, and way.
