This set is perfect for special education classrooms and beginning readers who are learning how to read. With 93 compound words included, this set is designed to help children develop their phonemic awareness skills and improve their reading abilities. Here are some of the benefits of using compound words in special education: Enhances Phonological Awareness: According to research, teaching compound words can enhance phonological awareness, which is an important skill for early reading development (Barton & Hargreaves, 2018). By breaking down compound words into two parts, children can learn how to identify and manipulate individual sounds in words. Improves Vocabulary: Learning compound words can also help children improve their vocabulary skills. As they learn about word families and patterns, they can apply this knowledge to other words they encounter in their reading (Cunningham & Stanovich, 1997). Increases Reading Fluency: When children are able to quickly recognize and decode compound words, it can increase their reading fluency. This means that they can read more smoothly and with greater comprehension (Wolf & Katzir-Cohen, 2001). Our Building Compound Word Task Cards come in two levels - one with pictures and words and another with just pictures. This makes it easy for teachers to differentiate instruction based on the needs of their students. The task cards are also versatile and can be used in a variety of ways such as centers, small group instruction or independent practice.

Breaking compound words into two parts and writing one of the words down can be helpful in teaching children how to read and write because it helps them learn about word families and patterns. Level 1: Visual Support + Tracing Level 2: Writing + Visual Support Level 3: Writing 9 printable pages included (3 at each level)  This activity also encourages children to focus on the individual sounds within words, which can help them with spelling and decoding unfamiliar words.For non-verbal students and those with intellectual disabilities, learning how to read and write can be a challenge. However, research has shown that using multisensory approaches can be effective in teaching literacy skills to these students. For example, a study by O'Connor et al.(2019) found that using visual cues such as pictures or gestures along with speech can improve literacy outcomes for students with intellectual disabilities. In addition, breaking compound words into two parts can be helpful for students who struggle with language development or have difficulty processing information. By focusing on individual parts of a word rather than the whole word, these students may find it easier to understand the meaning of the word and how it relates to other words. Overall, practicing CVC words through activities such as breaking compound words into two parts can be beneficial for all early readers, including non-verbal students and those with intellectual disabilities. It helps develop their phonemic awareness skills while also helping them learn about word families and patterns. Sources: O'Connor, B., O'Connor, J., & Simon, E. (2019).

About the Authors Meet Shari Bithell, M.Ed, Ed.S, GATE Certified was a 5th/6th grade GATE teacher in a California model school for full inclusion. She worked with mostly GATE and 2e students, challenging them in their areas of strengths and helping them to grow and progress in their areas of challenge. Executive Functioning skills were an area that Shari felt all GATE students needed to develop as a life skill to carry them through higher education and their eventual career. Shari did eventually move on to working at the district level both as an instructional coach helping teachers to grow in areas of challenge and heading up the GATE program at her district. Although it was not recognized as a child, Shari would probably be labeled as 2e in today’s school climate. She understands the challenges of being gifted, yet struggling in some academic areas. Shari’s special interests include reading, gardening, and playing with her grandchildren.

They'll be able to say- "want more" or point and say "there" to indicate where their snack is. Core words are the words we all use to communicate with each other every day. Give your students the words they need to develop true language skills, don't hold them back to simply requesting items that are in their immediate vicinity. Are you ready for the best part?

This packet has everything you need to get started! This packet is HUGE!  It provides a plethora of resources to your students engaged and communicating. With CORE language the focus is on getting students to truly develop their language, by understanding the words and how they are used in conversation.Get started with focus word sets.
