Let’s go step by step to solve this spelling worksheet.
We are given a word box with compound words:
- mailbox
- myself
- cannot
- cupcake
- bedroom
- inside
- bathtub
- birthday
- backyard
- classroom
And we have 5 sentences to complete using those words.

Sentence 1:
> The mail man places letters in my __________ every Wednesday.
Think: Where does the mailman put letters? In a
mailbox. That’s a compound word (mail + box). Perfect fit.
✔ Answer:
mailbox
---
Sentence 2:
> Grade 2 has the largest __________ in Rolleville Primary.
Think: What part of a school is “largest”? Probably a room — like a
classroom. It’s a compound word (class + room). Makes sense for a school setting.
✔ Answer:
classroom
---
Sentence 3:
> Due to the Corona Virus it is best we stay __________.
Think: During the virus, people were told to stay home — not go out. So “stay
inside” makes sense. “Inside” is one word from the list — and it fits logically.
✔ Answer:
inside
---
Sentence 4:
> I like chocolate frosting on my __________.
Think: What do you put chocolate frosting on? A dessert — like a
cupcake. Yes! Cupcake is a compound word (cup + cake) and matches perfectly.
✔ Answer:
cupcake
---
Sentence 5:
> My birthday party will be held in my __________.
Think: Where can you hold a birthday party at home? Maybe the
backyard (outside) or
bedroom (inside). But “backyard” is more common for parties — especially if it’s big enough. Also, “birthday” is already in the sentence, so we don’t use that again. “Backyard” is a compound word (back + yard) and fits well.
✔ Answer:
backyard
---
All answers are from the word box and make logical sense in context.
Final Answer:
1. mailbox
2. classroom
3. inside
4. cupcake
5. backyard
