Word Wonder: Compound Words Explained
Let’s dive into “Word Wonder” and explore compound words!
A compound word is created when two or more words are joined together to form a new word with a new meaning. Think of it like a team-up! Each individual word has its own meaning, but when they combine, they create something entirely different.
For example, take “sun” (the star in our solar system) and “flower” (a beautiful plant). Put them together, and you get “sunflower” – a specific type of flower that often turns its face towards the sun. Notice that when these words join, they usually don’t have a space between them. They become one single word, like “bedroom” (bed + room) or “backpack” (back + pack).
The exercise asks you to identify the word that doesn’t combine with the given word to form a compound word. Then, you’ll make compound words with the ones that do combine. This helps you practice recognizing how words fit together to create new meanings!
Cross (X) the word, which does not combine with the given word to form a compound word. Make compound words with the other words.
