Arrange by the alphabet
One can arrange the words based on the alphabetic order. It can be done in ascending and descending order. Students can match alphabets and form the word. They can learn the Logical order of words and the alphabet. It can improve sentence construction. For example- students can arrange words from A to Z or Z to A. Dictionaries are arranged in that way. One can find the word by searching it alphabetically. Therefore, if the first alphabet matches with another, then search by the second alphabet of the word.
Blending and segmenting activities
Arranging words can be tested by blending them. In the lower standards, children learn to arrange the words. They can segment the words based on the given category. It will build knowledge about the meaning of the words. For example, if a child has to segment the words based on the adjectives then the child should know the concept of adjectives. Suppose there are such words- rat, cat, mat, slow, fast, bus, and ugly. These are the blended words and one has to identify the adjectives and segment them and the segmentation will be slow, fast, and ugly.
Jumble words
Arranging words can be done from the jumble words. There can be different letters that are not arranged in the Logical order of alphabets. Students may ask to rearrange the word in the Logical order of words. For example, these are the given words- “d-a-r-h-c-l-e-t-a” and after arranging it would be “cathedral”. It can be done the same for a sentence such as students have asked to rearrange this sentence “important/games/studies/are/as/as” and after the rearranging it would be “Games are as important as studies”. Jumble words are a tool of the word game. It can enhance the knowledge of sentence structure.
Logical order of words
The logical order of words indicates the basic arrangements of the words according to a certain order and that can be their occurrence, size, and the alphabetic or dictionary order. The grammatically correct order is very important to arrange words and this is the most valuable Logical order of words. For arranging the sentence in the logical order firstly, it is important to read the sentence carefully to understand the meaning of the sentence and match the sequence of the activities. Then one can arrange the words grammatically correct and produce the meaning of the sentence.
