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.

helpful!
An excellent resource!
My students love a challenge and this challenged them, mostly because they had never done them before. It took a few before they started to catch on. Really good for working on explaining your thinking and reasoning your answer. Thanks so much!
I bought this to help my son prepare for the SSAT exam. I liked that it was very comprehensive and had different levels of difficulty for the worksheets. There were a few analogies that I didn't understand the answer, but for the most part it was great practice!
The resources and materials in this bundle were the perfect complement to my instruction and curriculum. Thank you for creating and sharing!

Are these fonts designed by you? They're gorgeous, especially the one that looks like transparent tape. So cool. I appreciate the attention to graphic design.
Hi Shannon! Thanks for the kind words.
Would it be possible to get a complete answer key that includes the analogy relationship in addition to the correct multiple choice word pair?
Hi Kathleen! Versions 1-3 of the resource do include the relationships in the answer key.
