Description

Ages: 6-11
Grades: 1-6

Students develop clear word definitions as they learn to group words and analyze words by different features. In the process, they build essential, life-long vocabulary skills.

Items are based on the curriculum and on their familiarity to students. The stimuli on the back of each card ask questions about the pictured item according to various attributes. Working through this series of attributes helps students state a clear definition of each item.

The attributes include:

• function
• association
• location
• description
• composition
• comparing
• contrasting

The cards are grouped by these categories:

• animals
• body parts
• clothing
• food and beverages
• health and grooming
• household
• occupations
• school
• transportation
