About this skill
This list focuses on compound words. Sheet A fills in missing letters, Sheet B unscrambles the words and Sheet C is a look-say-cover-write practice page.
How to teach it
- Use look-say-cover-write-check for each word.
- Practise a few minutes every day rather than the night before the test.
- Say the word, then clap the syllables.
Mistakes to watch for
- Guessing from the sound only — check against the pattern.
