Six pages about word groups. Pages 1 and 5 are cut and glue word sorts, page 2 asks for the group three words are in, page 4 for the word that does not belong, and pages 3 and 6 finish sentences that tell what group an animal is in and what makes it different.
Model a definition first: "A hen is a bird. What makes it different from other birds? It lays the eggs we eat." Let pairs make up their own for a classroom pet or a favorite animal.
Play twenty questions with groups: "Is it an animal? Is it a bird? Does it swim?" Then let your child give you clues the same way.
Word pages about categories, such as colors, animals, food and things that go, and what makes a thing different from others in its group. Children sort word cards, name the group of three words, find the word that does not belong, and finish sentences like "A hen is a bird that lays eggs."
