Rainbow, Teacup, Bookworm…
Do we realize how so many such words can be made from two independent words?
Rain + Bow, Book + Worm: this is a very interesting process of combining two individual words having their own respective definitions to form a third, different compound word.
A great way to introduce your kids to the concept of compound words, and to help with that, you can refer to our ‘Combine two words to form compound words’ worksheet.
In this worksheet, kids get a variety of illustrated images of words and how their combination can form a new compound word.
For example, there is an illustration of ‘rain’ along with a ‘bow,’ and the kids should be able to form the compound word ‘rainbow.’
Similarly, several such combinations are given in the form of vibrant, appealing images. When kids are allowed to use their imagination and ideas to form new words, their brains flourish, and they become more creative and interested in learning.
Teachers and parents can help kids complete these tasks and improve their vocabulary as well as their word-building skills. This worksheet includes 5 pages, available in printable PDFs, and is suitable for grade-3 kids.
The images of different items give kids a realistic example of how new words can be formed from already existing individual words.
Introducing bigger words as they grow up is also good for your kids’ brain development, and it serves as a strong base for their journey of learning the language.
