Category Sorter

In this worksheet, students read a list of words and sort each one into one of three labeled categories: Animals, Weather, or Foods. Learners must analyze each word’s meaning, determine the correct classification, and write the word in the appropriate box. This activity strengthens vocabulary knowledge by prompting students to recognize relationships between items. Students also practice critical thinking as they compare characteristics of words to decide where each one belongs. The visual layout supports young learners by providing clear category boundaries, making classification easier. This task reinforces foundational categorizing skills used across reading, science, and real-world problem solving.
