Common misconception
Compound nouns are completely different words that cannot be understood or pronounced unless they have been met before.
Compound nouns are made up of two (or more) nouns, one or more of which pupils may already know. Knowledge of formation and read aloud can promote recognition as can activities where pupils produce compounds from known words.
