Practice identifying and reading compound words with a printable Four-in-a-Row game for small-group reading instruction.
Read & Review Compound Words in Small-Groups
Let’s hear it for small-group Reading instruction! If you’ve been in the primary classroom for any number of years, you know there’s nothing quite as effective at building fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary as small-group instruction. Why is small group instruction so great for growing readers? Here are a few reasons why we love it!
- In small groups, you can provide more personalized attention to each student. You can modify instruction to individual learning styles, needs, and abilities.
- Students tend to be more engaged in small group settings because they feel more comfortable participating and sharing their ideas, improving retention and literacy skills.
- Collaborative learning is easier in small groups, where students can work together to solve problems, discuss reading materials, and share insights.
