What I Need to Know
Analogies are powerful tools that challenge and encourage you to think
critically. It is a strong device used to show connections and comparisons between
unlike things which highlight how they are alike.
Oral language development lays the foundation for the skills in reading and
writing. These skills will be developed later as you progress through school. Having a
solid foundation in oral language will help you become a successful reader and
strong communicator as well as build your confidence and overall sense of well-
being.
After working on this module, you will be able to supply appropriate terms to
complete an analogous series of words or expressions; specifically, you will be able
to:
1. define analogy;
2. determine the relationship of a given set of words in analogy;
3. compare traits of characters in the story read using analogy;
4. supply terms to complete analogous series of words based on sentence
form, analogous pair and figurative analogy.

Thank you.
Now, I have here some pairs of words lifted from the dialogue. Note the

What is It
Analogy is a pair of terms that has common relationship. In most cases, you
will not only determine the common relationship between each pair but you will also
have to identify which term makes up each pair. Usually, you are given two terms in
the format A : B, which could be read as A related to B.
Example:
(A) : (B)
kitchen : house - Kitchen and House are related since kitchen
is part of the house.
Writers use analogy to connect unfamiliar words or new ideas with common
and familiar objects. It functions as description or explanation of one thing by
examining its similarities and differences and forces the reader to understand the
connection between them. Using this technique, vocabulary skills as well as speed in
reading comprehension are enhanced.
