This was just what I needed to break down and attack figurative language. It’s engaging, the descriptions are clear. It really opened the door for some great discussion
Success in Special Ed –
This resource has served as the entire figurative language unit for my 4th and 5th graders with disabilities. The worksheets have a plethora of questions/activities which are age appropriate and address each concept directly. I like how many different worksheet options there are. I can use the ‘easier’ pages with my lower level learners and provide a bit of extension for my higher level learners with the pages that are a big ‘harder’. This resource has saved me SO much time and energy. Everything I needed was all in one spot! I have paired these worksheets with instructional videos found online. So grateful for this resource!
