Categories are groups of words that belong together because they share something in common. Learning about categories helps us organize words and ideas.
When you see a list of words, ask yourself: “What do these have in common?” That will help you find the category.
Categories help us organize our thinking. They make it easier to remember words, sort ideas, and talk about groups of things.
Thinking in categories helps us group words together so we can compare, sort, and describe them more clearly.
Some categories are about things we see every day, like food or animals. Others are about ideas, like colors, shapes, or places.
Categories can be big or small. A big category like “animals” can have smaller categories, such as “farm animals” or “pets.”
We can use categories to make our writing and speaking clearer. When we know the category, we can describe things in groups instead of one by one.
When you write, think about whether words can be grouped. This helps your reader see how they belong together.
Practicing categories makes it easier to learn new words and connect them with what you already know.
Make lists of words and sort them into categories. This practice helps you remember and understand words better.
