Efficient word learners do not just memorize word lists, but create learning rules to apply to a variety of cognitive process. Students that fall behind are typically learning one word at a time and have not processed adequate rules for learning. The Entire World of Categories addresses that process, with four sections organized from basic to more complex tasks:

• Attributes and Categories
• Single Attributes
• Multiple Attributes and Categories
• Subcategories and Hierarchies

Explore the strategies students use when thinking about attributes and relationships between categories, and how they apply those strategies to new learning situations. Assess thought processes and develop goals using discussion activities that align with curriculum standards. Assess carry-over of the learned material with mediation questions.

Ages 5 and up.

Each activity includes a student worksheet and instructor guide with answers, modifications and supplemental questions. Includes 238 pages.
