Step-by-step solution for: Compound Word Sort Worksheet
To solve this task, we need to take the words from the bottom section and find pairs that make a new, real word when put together. Then, we list them in the table columns: the first part, the second part, and the full compound word.
Here is the step-by-step matching process:
1. Look for "tea":
* Scanning the list, "tea" + "pot" isn't there, but "tea" + "cup" works perfectly.
* Pair: tea + cup = teacup
2. Look for "battle":
* "Battle" often goes with "axe" or "field", but looking at our list, "battle" + "ship" makes a real word.
* Pair: battle + ship = battleship
3. Look for "post":
* "Post" + "man" is a common job.
* Pair: post + man = postman
4. Look for "tomb":
* "Tomb" + "stone" is a common object found in graveyards.
* Pair: tomb + stone = tombstone
5. Look for "far":
* "Far" + "m" isn't there, but "far" + "away" isn't there either. Wait, looking closer at the list... "far" + "m" isn't an option. Let's re-examine.
* Ah, "far" + "m" isn't in the list. Let's look at "far" + "away"? No.
* Let's look at "far" + "ther"? No.
* Let's re-read the list carefully: tea, battle, cup, post, tomb, far, give, eye, pop, stone, water, ball, shed, man, book, corn, ship, shelf, proof, wood.
* Okay, "far" + "m" isn't there. What about "far" + "away"? No.
* Let's try "far" + "off"? No.
* Let's look for other matches first.
6. Look for "give":
* "Give" + "away" isn't there.
* "Give" + "up"? No.
* Wait, "give" + "away" isn't there. Let's look at "give" + "way"? No.
* Let's look at "give" + "birth"? No.
* Let's look at "give" + "in"? No.
* Let's look at "give" + "out"? No.
