The focus this week is compound words! Lots of great opportunities for discussing how the components of words impact word meaning. Working on compound words also helps students learn the skill of looking for familiar chunks within words. Even if these chunks are not complete words on their own.

As you will notice, there are a few repeat words too! Regardless of what list your child is studying, please take a moment to quiz them on these words:

-Would

-Could

-Should

-They

Those words have been our collective nemesis since the start of the year and I think it's finally time we defeat them once and for all.

Good luck!
