This instructional material is written in clear, conversational English with a minimum of technical terms and makes mastery of analogy techniques manageable for students. Topics include the "bridge sentence," words with more than one meaning, two-step analogies, and various analogy types. There are also warm-up exercises for the students, which are followed up with helpful answers and explanations. Part 2 presents hundreds of analogies organized into 3 groups. Each group is broken down into units, with each unit consisting of 20 problems. Part 3 contains vocabulary groups of 100 words each, with the alphabetized and defined words representing some of the most difficult ones in the corresponding analogy group. Grades 9-10.
