See and Spell the Compound Words!

Compound words are formed by combining two or more words to create a new word, such as sunflower, football and butterfly. Being able to identify compound words is one skill that students must master, but another important skill they need is the ability to spell compound words. In that case, we can help!

This printable worksheet pack is designed to give your students additional practice in both identifying and spelling compound words. Each of the three compound word worksheets in this resource download requires students to identify the compound word represented by the image and then spell it correctly in the space provided.
