To the Teacher
Why Teach Analogies?
4
A nalogies explore word—and therefore 
concept—relationships. Implicit in making
analogies are numerous critical thinking
skills. It is for these reasons that analogies
appear on so many standardized tests.
Teaching analogies offers important and concrete
benefits to students. Working with analogies 
D expands students’ vocabulary.
D directs students to recognize different shades
of word meanings.
D helps students understand relationships among
words and ideas.
D reinforces students’ ability to make comparisons.
D increases reading comprehension.
D causes students to read more carefully.
D develops reasoning skills.
D prepares students for standardized tests.
Using the Book
The reproducible pages in this book provide
step-by-step instruction in introducing and
practicing seven kinds of analogies. Students
review the skill needed for understanding each
kind of analogy and become familiar with the
formats in which the analogies appear. The THINK!
component at the bottom of each page directs
students to explain and explore their reasoning.
As you introduce each type of analogy or for-
mat, you’ll want to model how to do it by thinking
aloud. See the sample Think Alouds for each
section. Be sure to provide dictionaries and/or
thesauruses for students to use as they work on
the analogies.
Working in pairs or small groups gives students
the opportunity to try out and explain their
thinking as they complete the analogies.
Synonyms (pages 8–11)
Page 8 This page helps students review the
use of synonyms, perhaps the most
common word relationship found in
analogies.
Page 9 This page provides practice using syn-
onym analogies with the “is to” format.
A smirk is a kind of smile so these words are
synonyms; this is a synonym analogy. I need
to find another word for cautious. Grin? No, that
is a synonym for smile, but not for cautious.
Careful? That seems like a possible choice—
cautious and careful have similar meanings—
but I’ll read the other choices to be sure.
Caution? No, caution is a noun. I need an
adjective like cautious to complete this analogy.
Careless? No, that does not mean the same
as cautious. The answer is careful.
Page 10 Read the tip and review the meaning
of the symbols. For each item, suggest
that students repeat a sentence similar
to the one given in the tip.
Remind students as often as necessary to
read all the choices for an analogy before
writing an answer.
Page 11 On this page students must choose a
word pair to complete the analogy.
Remind students to look for a word
pair in which the words are related in
the same way as the first word pair.

Antonyms (pages 12–16)
Page 12 This page provides practice in using
antonyms, another common word
relationship found in analogies.
Page 13 This page provides practice using
antonym analogies with the “is to” format.
Influential means the opposite of powerless so
this is an antonym analogy. I need to find the
opposite of bend. Shape? No, it’s not the
opposite of bend. Straighten? This seems like
a possible answer; straighten is the opposite of
bend. I’ll read the other choices to be sure
though. Powerful? No, powerful is the opposite
of powerless, but not bend. Crooked? No,
crooked is related to bend, but it is not the
opposite. The answer is straighten.
Page 14 Read the tip and review the meaning
of the symbols. For each item, suggest
that students repeat a sentence similar
to the one given in the tip.
Suggest that students predict what the answer
might be before they look at the answer choices,
then look to see if their guess is there. Remind 
students that if the exact word isn’t given as a
choice, they should look for a synonym.
Page 15 On this page students must choose a
word pair to complete the analogy.
Remind students to look for a word
pair in which the words are related in
the same way as the first word pair.
Page 16 This page reviews synonym and
antonym analogies. Remind students
of the importance of understanding
the relationship of the first two words 
in the analogy.
Homophones (pages 17–21)
Page 17 This page provides practice in reviewing
homophones.
Page 18 On this page students use homophone
analogies with the “is to” format.
Idle and idol are homophones so this is a 
homophone analogy. I need to find a homo-
phone for compliment. Common? No, it doesn’t
sound the same as compliment. Complement?
Yes, that sounds like compliment but it is
spelled differently. I’ll check the other choices
to be sure. Complete? No. Praise? No, it means
the same thing as compliment, but it isn’t a
homophone for it. The answer is complement.
Page 19 Read the tip and review the meaning
of the symbols.
Because of different accents and dialects,
students may need pronunciation help with
homophones.
Page 20 On this page students must choose a
word pair to complete the analogy.
Page 21 This page reviews synonym, antonym,
and homophone analogies. Remind 
students of the importance of under-
standing the relationship of the first
two words in the analogy.

Example and Class (pages 22–26)
Page 22 This page gives students practice in
grouping items into classes in prepara-
tion for example and class analogies.
Page 23 On this page students use example
and class analogieswith the “is to”
format.
A semicolon is a form of punctuation so this
analogy is one of example and class. I need 
to find a class for diphtheria. Comma? No, a
comma is a kind of punctuation but it is not
related to diphtheria. Sentence? No, punctua-
tion is used in a sentence but it is not related
to diphtheria. Disease? That sounds like a
possibility; diphtheria is a kind of disease.
I’ll read the last choice to be sure though.
Cholera? No, cholera is another disease, so it
is an example, not the class name. The answer
is disease.
Page 24 Read the tip and review the meaning
of the symbols.
Page 25 On this page students must choose a
word pair to complete the analogy.
Page 26 This page reviews synonym, antonym,
homophone, and example/class 
analogies. Remind students of the
importance of understanding the 
relationship of the first two words in
the analogy.
Object/Function (pages 27–31)
Page 27 This page gives students practice in
identifying the function of different
items in preparation for object / function
analogies.
Page 28 On this page students use
object/function analogies with the “is
to” format.
A camera photographs things so this is an
object/function analogy. I need to find the 
function of a ruler. Inch? No, a ruler measures
in inches, but inch is not a function. Foot? 
No, a ruler can measure feet, but a foot is not
a function. Picture? No, a picture is what a
camera takes, but it is not the function of a
ruler. Measure? Yes, the function of a ruler is
to measure.
Page 29 Read the tip and review the meaning
of the symbols.
Students should look for verbs when they
choose the answers.
Page 30 On this page students must choose a
word pair to complete the analogy.
Page 31 This page reviews synonym, antonym,
homophone, example/class, and
object/function analogies. Remind 
students of the importance of under-
standing the relationship of the first
two words in the analogy.
Doer/Action (pages 32–36)
Page 32 This page gives students practice in
identifying the actions of different people
in preparation for doer/action analogies.
Page 33 On this page students use doer/action
analogies with the “is to” format.

An action of a surgeon is to operate so this
is a doer/action analogy. I need to find the
action of an author. I can predict that it will be
to write. Let’s see if that is an answer choice.
Illustrate? No, that is the action of an artist.
Narrate? Well, an author does narrate. I’ll read
the other choices though. Doctor? No, doctor
is a noun, not a verb or action word. Correct?
That’s not the main function of an author.
I think narrate is the best choice here. It’s not
what I expected, but it still makes sense.
Page 34 Read the tip and review the meaning
of the symbols.
Suggest to the students that if they’re really
stumped for an answer, they should go on to
the next problem. Students can come back to
any incomplete problems if there is time.
Page 35 On this page students must choose a
word pair to complete the analogy.
Page 36 This page reviews synonym, antonym,
homophone, example/class,
object/function, and doer/action
analogies. Remind students of the
importance of understanding the 
relationship of the first two words in
the analogy.
Location (pages 37–41)
Page 37 This page provides practice in identify-
ing where different things are usually
found.
Page 38 On this page students use location
analogies with the “is to” format.
Toothpaste is found in a pharmacy so this is a
location analogy. I need to find a location for
money. I can predict that it will be a bank or a
wallet. Let’s see what the answer choices are.
Dollars? No, dollars are a kind of money but
not a location for it. Drugstore? No, drugstore
is a synonym for pharmacy but not a location
for money. Teeth? No, toothpaste is used on
teeth. Bank? Yes, a bank is a place where
money is located. So my prediction was correct.
Page 39 Read the tip and review the meaning
of the symbols.
Page 40 On this page students must choose a
word pair to complete the analogy.
Page 41 This page reviews synonym, antonym,
homophone, example/class, object/
function, doer/action, and location
analogies. Remind students of the
importance of understanding the 
relationship of the first two words in
the analogy.
Test Prep Skillbuilders (pages 42–47)
These pages provide practice in completing in
test format the seven kinds of analogies covered
in this book. Although the pages do not require
that students write the kind of analogy as they do
on the Review pages, remind students that they
must nevertheless identify the kind of analogy in
order to complete it correctly.
In many cases students’ errors are caused by
their unfamiliarity with a word. Encourage
students to use a dictionary to check their work.
