This easy worksheet gives second graders a fresh word set to grow their compound-word eyes. Part A sorts six words including moonlight, seashell, and sidewalk into compound and non-compound groups, while rabbit, yellow, and blanket try to sneak in. Part B offers five fill-in-the-blanks that join sea + shell into seashell and break moonlight into moon and light. Part C finishes with four true-or-false statements that test whether seashell is a compound and whether only long words can be compounds.
Students leave knowing that two small words can team up to make one bigger meaning.
