Think Analogies B1 Workbook - Learning to Connect Words and Relationships

by Cheryl Block

Looking for an easy-to-understand method to teach analogies with plenty of practice? This 64-page book for grades 6 and up (ages 11 and up) teaches students how to analyze and classify analogies by relationship, category, and structure. Students who learn strategies to make and complete analogies benefit in many ways. They sharpen their reasoning skills as they analyze the subtleties of language and relationship presented in analogies. As students learn to understand simple word analogies, they move toward understanding more complex analogous relationships presented in literature, science, and history. Analogies are also a key component of many assessment and ability tests.

Think Analogies® B1 begins with an exploration of word relationships. Students classify word groups and form pairs of related items, and then identify types of analogous relationships and classify them. Finally, they select and supply words and word pairs to complete analogies. This book also teaches how to read and understand analogy structures, describe analogous relationships, and make analogies from word lists.
