Compound Nouns

 
Compound Nouns is a research-backed language game designed to help learners understand how two smaller words join together to form a new word with a new meaning. Using a playful, hands-on card-matching format, learners explore how compound nouns are created, strengthening vocabulary, word awareness, and semantic understanding.

By visually and verbally combining words, learners deepen their understanding of how English words work, supporting both decoding and comprehension. The game format reduces pressure, encourages discussion, and supports flexible thinking as learners experiment with meaning.

Grounded in the Science of Reading, Compound Nouns builds morphological awareness — a key contributor to reading comprehension, spelling, and vocabulary growth.
