A Second-Grade Teacher Has Students Take Two Single-Syllable Nouns from a Hat

A second-grade teacher has students take two single-syllable nouns from a hat (e.g., snow, man) and asks them to form words by putting the words together (e.g., snowman) . Students then draw pictures to illustrate their new words and write short stories using the new words. This activity is likely to be most effective for helping students

A) use visualization as a writing strategy.
B) apply knowledge of phonics generalizations.
C) use context cues to identify unfamiliar words.
D) understand the concept of compound words.
