Or was that "confound it all?" After working on our Build Compound Words App (for ipad) these past several months, I may have confused nf with mp! We (Chris Holm, Speech/Language Clinician, and Kim Wapola, Developer Extraordinaire) have been working together since January to put together an animated online product that would support this common core standard:
Use knowledge of the meaning of individual words to predict the meaning of compound words (e.g., birdhouse, lighthouse, housefly; bookshelf, notebook, bookmark).
The app will soon be available!
In the meantime, there are printable products already available here: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Subplanners-By-Jean-Snowden/Category/Speech-Language-Apps We believe the real photographs used in these products (the same photos used in the app) are especially worthwhile for students with limited language or diverse learning needs.
