Challenge Students Now, and See Great Scores Later
Want to boost test scores and help prepare your students for analogies on standardized tests? Then this is the book for you! The exercises are divided into three levels of difficulty to help you meet the ability levels and needs of your students. The analogies cover parts of speech, synonyms, antonyms, homophones, parts of a whole and more—plus categories such as sports, food, and people. Students use a "bubble" answer sheet to provide further practice for standardized tests.
Analogy Challenge helps students to analyze, solve, and write analogies. The exercises in this book provide practice in analyzing relationships between words and strengthening students' vocabularies, both skills critical for standardized testing.
The exercises include analogies based on the following concepts:
- parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs)
- synonyms
- antonyms
- homophones
- recognized parts of a whole
- male and female counterparts
- tools and the occupations with which they are associated
- and special topics such as food, animals, people, and sports
For your convenience, the book is divided into three levels of difficulty ranging from easier to more difficult. This format will help you tailor the exercises to best meet the ability levels and needs of your students.
As an added bonus, the book contains an Answer Sheet that can be reproduced and used with each exercise. This enables students to practice filling in their answers using the "bubble" format found on most standardized tests. Also included are pages where students can create their own analogies using dictionaries, thesauruses, and other reference materials. An answer key is provided at the back of the book.
