Order related words based on meaning

Key Notes:-

What does ‘Ordering’ mean?

Ordering means especially putting things.

We can order things by size, color, or even by what they mean! Today, we’ll learn to order words based on what they mean.

Words That Are Alike

Some words are alike in meaning. They can be put in order from the smallest to the biggest, or from the first to the last.

Think of it like this: a seed grows into a plant, and a plant grows into a tree! The words ‘seed’, ‘plant’, and ‘tree’ can be ordered!

Example 1: Temperature

Let’s order these words by how warm they are:

Warm: A little bit hot.

Hot: More heat than warm.

Boiling: The hottest, like water bubbling on the stove!

What do you think comes first? Warm is the least Hot. Then comes Hot, and finally Bolling is the Hottest!

The correct order is: Warm, Hot ,Boilling.

Example 2: Size
