Analogies
Develop students' thinking skills and vocabulary strategies
Students use associations and relationships to determine the meaning of words and concepts. Educators have long realized that working with analogies teaches students to
- recognize and analyze relationships
- look for likenesses and differences
- draw conclusions
- work with multiple word meanings
- have fun with words
Beginning with the basic fundamentals of understanding analogies, each book builds on previous editions—reviewing and introducing new analogy types and more advanced categories.
Each book can be used independently of the others.

What homeschoolers say about Perfection Learning
Homeschoolers generally find Perfection Learning's materials to be straightforward and affordable, especially their workbooks and practice texts for language arts and history. Many appreciate the clear, no-frills presentation and the manageable parent involvement required. However, some note that the content can be somewhat traditional and repetitive, lacking in modern engagement or depth for advanced learners. While the price point is attractive, a few families mention that the materials may feel basic compared to more comprehensive curricula, making them better suited as supplements rather than standalone programs.
