Teaching figurative language doesn’t have to mean dry worksheets or isolated definitions. This set of 12 original reading passages gives students a chance to see similes and metaphors in action, woven right into fun, fictional stories.
Designed for 3rd to 6th grade, each one-page passage explores a different theme (think: bubble trouble, futuristic cities, woodland adventures) and includes a mix of similes and metaphors for students to find and understand. There’s even a helpful hint at the bottom of each page that tells them how many they should be looking for!
What’s included?
- 12 fiction passages
- A mix of similes and metaphors in every story
- Hints and answer keys
- Clear layout, easy to print
Skills practice: figurative language, reading comprehension, descriptive writing
I’ve used this resource in ELA centers and small groups, but it also works great as homework or for early finishers. It’s one of those “print and go” tools that adds depth to your language lessons without adding extra prep.
Want to make figurative language more engaging? This is a fun and easy place to start.
