Compound Round-Up~ Understanding Compound Words

The powerpoint for this week is a FABULOUS teaching and review presentation on compound words and is brought to us from Kathy Isom. I like it a lot because it teaches a great strategy- if you can draw a picture of each word, then it is a great compound word!
