Fix the Compound Adjectives Activity

This worksheet is a great starting point for students who are learning about compound adjectives. Compound adjectives are two adjectives that join forces to do twice the work they do alone, together! These words can take on a different or unique meaning, so learning them is important, especially for young writers. This worksheet contains a total of thirteen compound adjective pairs. Have students work line-by-line and then review how the compound adjectives take on a new meaning when brought together. Some may be familiar and others may be unfamiliar.
