Order related words based on meaning

Sometimes, words can be arranged to show how things happen or how much of something there is. Let’s see how!

Ordering by Size

Imagine you have a seed, then it grows into a sprout, then a plant, and finally a big tree! We can put those words in order:

  1. Seed 🌱
  2. Sprout
  3. Plant
  4. Tree 🌳

See how we went from smallest to biggest? That’s ordering words by size!

Ordering by Time

Let’s think about what happens when you get ready for school:

  1. Wake up
  2. Eat breakfast
  3. Brush teeth
  4. Go to school

These words are in the order that things happen. This is ordering words by time!

Practice Time!

Let’s try another example. Can you put these words in order from smallest to largest?

  • House
  • Apartment
  • Room
  • Building

What order do you think these words should go in?

Here is the answer. Did you get it right?

  1. Room
  2. Apartment
  3. House
  4. Building

let’s practice!
