Instructional Ideas

  • Divide learners into pairs or trios, direct them to complete the word sort, then fill in the worksheet independently
  • Have several sets readily available for early finishers to work on when time permits  
  • Send a set home for pupils to practice with their parents or guardians 

Classroom Considerations

  • Requires copies—color copies make word cards pop
  • Assumes class members have knowledge of compound words 

Pros

  • Offers vibrant cards and a well-designed worksheet
  • Shamrocks and rainbows give the practice a festive flair

Cons

  • None
