4-Square Response

A compound word adventure!

Compound words are common words in the English language that consist of two or more words that combine to form a single new word.  

Possible reflection ideas:   (Choose ONLY ONE!)

 * Create a Four square foldable and write the title/author in the diamond. Write a compound word from the story in boxes 1, 2, and 3. Under each word break apart the compound word and draw a picture for each word that makes up the compound word. For example, goldfish would be:

  gold                                        fish

In the 4th box, choose one word and write a complete and comprehensive sentence with 6 or more words.

 FOR EXAMPLE:

My grandmother bought me a goldfish for my 8th birthday.

*Silly Compounds For a fun compound word activity have the child think up new and possibly silly compounds. Also have the child describe what their new words mean. For example, cat + shower → catshower (a shower for cats) and monkey + pants → monkeypants (pants for monkeys or pants with a monkey pattern). This activity helps reinforce the idea that compound words are new words that are made up of two other words. 

*Clapping Activity Speak the first word of a compound word aloud. Instruct the child to say the word and clap. Then speak the second word of the compound aloud. Have the child repeat this word and clap. Then tell the child to say both words together and to clap for each word. For example: apple (clap) + sauce (clap) → apple (clap) sauce (clap). The clapping activity teaches children that compounds consist of multiple words.
