Description: Forming Word Connections: Solve This Analogy challenges students to use verbal reasoning to solve analogies. The cards provide practice in solving analogies by understanding word relationships. Key words are underlined to increase awareness and assist the student in choosing the correct answer. It is important that students explain why an answer was chosen in order to increase comprehension of word relationships and to encourage generalization of the skill. Analogies are used to explain an idea by comparing two totally different things and finding a common relationship between them. They are used to explain similarities and differences by creating associations and visual connections. By forming comparative relationships between what is familiar and what is new, analogies help to develop logical reasoning skills and to promote a greater comprehension of complex information. Analogies serve as mental models that help to visualize abstract concepts.
