The quality and exchange of useful educational information has been greatly increased through the use of technology by students and teacher. See http://www.JESProductions.net for further examples and links to other educational connections..
This page will let you move words to make compound words.
You may also move one of the small turtles.
First, make the compound words.
Second, find out which small turtle can be moved.
I hope you enjoy this activity. - John Schlichte

Students who are developing readers can be asked to copy the compound words that the student can read and then bring the paper to a teacher, reading partner, or classroom assistant to have the reading checked.
The process of moving the smaller words to make larger compound words and then copying the compound words is likely to be helpful in reinforcing the recognition of words parts in larger words. You may also want to see my webpages for rearranging syllables for making larger words.
This page has been one of my favorite activities for developing readers for several years. The Internet page was updated in 2007. I hope the use of this freee educational activity is helpful. - John Schlichte, Recently Retired Teacher
