This challenging worksheet pushes second graders to reason about compounds, not just spot them. Part A has four multiple-choice questions where students pick scarecrow over garden and pillow, find that water + fall (not water + all) makes waterfall, and notice that blanket hides among notebook, windmill, and beehive without being a compound. They also choose firefly when fire meets fly.

Part B is a five-question fill-in-the-blank set that builds scarecrow, blackbird, and haystack and pulls wind from windmill and book from notebook. The mix of choices and short answers builds careful word analysis.
