Description
Word analogies are one of the most effective ways to build vocabulary while simultaneously developing critical thinking skills. Unlike vocabulary activities that require students to memorize word definitions, word analogies develop a deep understanding of a word meaning by exploring the relationships between words. When students form logical connections between words, they create a mental network of ideas, which deepens understanding and increases retention. While solving word analogies, students are contextualizing the words as they search for word relationships.
When students work with analogies, they…
•expand and deepen their vocabulary.
•understand the relationships between ideas and words.
•recognize and understand multiple-meaning words.
•think critically and apply logical reasoning.
•learn to decipher word meanings based on context.
•build a network of understanding that improves retention and aids future learning.

A well crafted resource
I am using this with my 5th graders and we're starting from 3rd grade analogies. This resource is great to introduce your students to thinking about word nuance.

I have used this for the past two years and love it, but I cannot find the Powerpoint anymore. Can you give me some guidance?
Hello, Tricia. If you redownload the resource, you should see the PowerPoints in each file.
I own all of your analogies and I have used them religiously throughout the years because I believe very strongly in their ability to build vocabulary and word cognition just to name a few. However, this year's group is really struggling, with understanding the different relationships analogies can represent. I was wondering if you had (or could make) a single page to print as an anchor chart for the different relationships with analogies? Even having the little foldable sheet isn't enough.
Hello! While I can't commit to creating such a resource, I will definitely add it to a list of possible projects.
Hi! I've owned this amazing product for 2 years now, but recently when I've downloaded it, and tried to open one of the pdfs it won't open. I have no problem downloading it from tpt, its just when i go to open it, it says it can't find it. I've tried on several computers and same thing. Lastly, this doesn't happen with other purchases with pdf's. Is there a way for you to email it to me?
Hi Stepanie! Thank you for reaching out. Can you please tell me which PDF won't open?
Is there a slide show to introduce the 7 types in the 4th grade version?
Thank you!
Anna
Yes, they are available for each grade.
Sorry if the question has been asked, but I purchased Level 6 a few years ago, am now teaching 5th. Would like to purchase the bundle, BUT is there some kind of price break where I would like to get the bundle? No worries, if no can do, because it is still worth it.
Unfortunately, TpT doesn't have function that allows us to easily create custom bundles in a way that ensures customers always have the latest version of their resources, so we don't offer this option on TpT. We do have a Build Your Own Bundle option on our off-site store that you can check out here: https://teacherthrive.com/byob/
Hi! For some reason, the Grade 5 and Grade 6 lists can't be opened. It says there's something wrong with the zip file. Could it be the result of the most recent update, or should I be looking for another issue?
Not to worry. Please contact TpT so they can troubleshoot this with you directly. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Contact
Would you consider bundling 5, 6, 7, and 8 or 6, 7, 8, and 9? I teach 7th, The lower bundle will be way to easy and the upper bundle will be mostly too hard. Never hurts to ask! :)
Thanks for asking. We don't have plans to do so at this time. You can Build Your Own Bundle to receive a discount on the resources, just as you would if there was a bundle listing for what you are looking for.
Will you consider to make Analogies for K-G2? When will you plan to finish it? Thanks
Hi Stephanie, Thank you for your interest. I will definitely consider it for a future project. However, if it is something I am able to complete, it will be several months away.
Where did you get the task card containers?
Hi Donna! They are photo boxes from Michael’s.
How do I access the "force copy" links to use these with google forms?
Hi Charles! When you click on the links within the resource, a window will pop up that says "copy." When you click on that, it will save to your Google Drive. Detailed instructions are included for this beginning on page 271 of the PDF.
