Vocabulary Strategy
• Objectives:
• Use word structure to determine the
meaning of compound words.
Word Structure
• When you are reading, you may come across
a long word that looks like two words. Look
closely at the word. Do you see two small
words in it? It may be a compound word.
• Divide the compound word into its two
small words.
• Think of the meaning of each small word,
and put the two meanings together.
• Try the new meaning in the sentence.
Does it make sense?
The two
words in
waterfalls
are water
and falls. I
know what
water is.
Falls means
"to fall
down." So
waterfalls
refers to
"water that
falls down
over
something."

Guided Practice
• When a pronoun is used as the subject of a
sentence, it is called a subject pronoun. I,
you, he, she, it, we, and they are subject
pronouns.
• Pronouns that are used after action verbs or
as objects of prepositions are called object
pronouns. Me, you, him, her, it, us, and them
are object pronouns.
