The comparison has to do with the relationship between the two words. Example: school:students as hospital:patients red is to color as square is to shape

Reader’s Workshop: Idioms and Analogies As you are reading today, try to find an idiom or analogy in your book. If you can not find either, make one of your own based off of your book. Be ready to share your sentences and whether each is an idiom or analogy by the end of the reading time. We will now be reading independently.
