Figurative Language Identification

English & Expressive Literacy

Your child spots and integrates similes, metaphors, and personification within text to extract deeper narrative art.

In real life

While reading, your child catches the phrase "the wind whispered through the trees" and explains: "The author is using personification to make the wind seem alive."
