Hi again! I’ve been enjoying my visits here on the Hameray Classroom Literacy Blog.  I enjoy creating engaging, hands-on literacy activities for my students and am delighted that I have been asked to share some of them here.

The last time I visited, I shared a writing activity that could be used with the   Story World Real World Gingerbread Man    set.  Each year, when I do a gingerbread theme in my classroom, I take the opportunity to do some review of compound words.  After all, gingerbread is the tastiest compound word I know!

Here is a word work literacy station that students can work at independently:

Students will match the gingerbread cards to create compound words   and the recording page will allow you to check for understanding.    I have included a student instruction card to build independence. 

I know I’ve said it before but you really should check out the   Story World Real World   series .
