Methods
Both books begin with an exploration of word relationships. Students classify word groups, form pairs of related items, then identify types of analogous relationships and classify them. Finally, they select and supply words and word pairs to complete analogies. Book B1 also teaches how to read and understand analogy structures, describe analogous relationships, and make analogies from word lists.
