Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Define a compound word as two words joined to form a new word

  • Identify five example compound words: butterfly, watermelon, baseball, rainbow, and snowman

Teaching tips

  • Post the completed chart as a reference during a lesson introducing compound words.

  • Use the fill-in-the-blank version as a quick recall check, having students supply the missing definition words before revealing the completed chart.

Skills covered

  • Compound word identification — students connect two smaller words (butter+fly, water+melon) to see how they combine into one new word.

  • Definition recall — the fill-in version asks students to supply the two missing words in the definition itself.
