Understanding new words and their uses includes exercises in Multimeaning and Word Analysis. In the Multimeaning exercise, students compare sentences that use different meanings of the same word. In Word Analysis, students identify a word’s meaning by using prefixes, suffixes, and word origins.Each of the fifteen lessons in Connecting New Words and Patterns allows students to build logic skills through practice with analogies. Students identify the relationship of the pair of words in the stem and in the answer options. They then match the appropriate relationships.
