Description
Analogies make us think about language. With little kids, an analogy might be “An apple is to fruit as a carrot is to ___.“ The answer is, of course, vegetables. As a child’s language skills grow, so do analogies. Noticing similarities and differences, patterns, and categorizing are critical thinking skills. This book takes these skills and moves beyond. You will work with figures of speech though literature and scripture, forcing you to read the text more closely. Analogies train us to see connections, and relationships in all things. This is a single, consumable worktext with answers in the back. I suppose it could be done independently, but would be much more fun with others. Used in Classical Conversations Challenge A. Contains Christian content. ~Sara
