Preparation
- Print compound words on sticky notes in their component parts.

Extensions:
Place all of the first parts of the word on the board with the second part of the words out of order. Ask the learner to unscramble the word pairs.
Read the nonsense words aloud together. If the learner is non-verbal, read the new words and have the learner point to the word that you read.
Verbal Prompts
We are going to read compound words together. A compound word is when two words come together to make a new word.
First, We are going to read the first column of words on the board.
Next, we are going to read the second column of words
Then, we are going to put the words together to create a compound word.
Finally, we are going to talk about what that word means.
Now, we are going to play the game a different way.
Finished.
You made and read these compound words!
Let’s check your schedule.
