Campus Word Masters: School-Based Compound Words for Grade 4 

This Grade 4 Grammar worksheet on School-Based Compound Words helps learners understand how everyday school vocabulary is formed by combining two smaller words into one meaningful compound word. Students explore examples such as classroom, homework, playground, schoolbag, timetable, workbook, lunchbox, sportsday, and schoolbus while strengthening spelling and grammar accuracy. 
Through structured activities like multiple choice questions, word merging tasks, true or false identification, underlining compound words in sentences, and paragraph-based fill in the blanks, students practise recognising and applying compound words in real school-life contexts.
