Description
So many students take texts literally and are shocked when exposed to figurative meaning! My Figurative Language Reading Comprehension Passages are packed full of short stories with figurative language to help students practice with similes, metaphors, idioms, alliteration, onomatopoeia, hyperbole, and personification. With 3 differentiated levels for each of my 10 passages written specifically to practice figurative language, your students will be interpreting and writing their own figurative language in no time!

Why Teachers Like You LOVE This Resource:
“I used this with a sixth grader I tutor, and we both enjoyed the variety of reading passages and the questions that made my student really think about the figurative language she was reading. To go into further depth, we talked about the inferences in “Veggiebites.”, –Natasha L.
“These passages are always fun and it is SO helpful to have differentiated text, so that students can still be reading the same thing, but at a level appropriate to them. Would purchase again and will continue to look for resources from Kristine!” -Peyton M.
