An analogy is a comparison between two things. It points out the
similarities between two things that might be different in all
other respects. Analogies cause us to think analytically about
forms, uses, structures, and relationships. First Time Analogies is
the ideal launching pad to start nonreaders on the road to real
thinking experiences with these pictorial and symbolic analogies
that are both challenging and motivating. The book is divided into
four sections that let you introduce analogies in a developmental
way. The levels are: recognizing relationships; choosing one item
to complete the analogy; given two items, choosing two other items
that have the same relationships; and pairing up four items to
complete two related pairs. Exercises are presented on worksheets
that require circling the correct answer, as well as cutting out
pictures and pasting them in the correct spaces. Attractive
illustrations will draw students into the engaging exercises.
Although they think they are just solving fun puzzles, they will be
doing serious thinking and building a basis for future experiences
in critical thinking. This is the first in a series of books that
introduce analogies at varying difficulties and formats. The other
books are Analogies for Beginners, Analogies for the 21st Century,
Thinking Through Analogies, and Advancing Though Analogies. Grades
