How to use this sheet
- Have the child say the first pair as a sentence: "A puppy is a young dog."
- Use the same sentence for the second pair: "A kitten is a young ___."
- Ask what kind of link each pair has: opposites, part and whole, tool and use.
Common mistakes
- Choosing a word that goes with the last word but does not match the link in the first pair.
- Reversing the order in the second pair, so the pair matches backwards.
- Not saying the relationship aloud first, and guessing.
