I am using this resource with my highest reading group. I teach 1st grade but have 7 students who are ready for advanced work and they absolutely LOVE doing these worksheets and learning about figurative language. The practice is effective–I review with these students daily and they are retaining the information very well. I would highly recommend this resource.
