Have your child sing the Compound Word Boogie from YouTube for extra practice with compound words. Your child should be able to use compound words in a "perfect" sentence. (A perfect sentence starts with a capital letter, ends with proper punctuation, and has all of the rest of the letters lowercase unless a capital is necessary) A perfect sentence is a Common Core Standard. In class we picked 3 compound words and created sentences using all 3 compound words. Have your child continue practicing this skill at home.
