FAQ
What types of figurative language do 4th graders study?⌄
Fourth graders are expected to recognize and interpret similes, metaphors, idioms, alliteration, hyperbole, and personification as tools authors use to enhance their writing.
How do figurative language skills help students with their own writing?⌄
When students understand how figurative devices work and what effect they create, they can deliberately choose to use these techniques in their own writing to make it more vivid and engaging.
Why do students sometimes struggle with idioms and figurative language?⌄
Idioms and figurative language are non-literal, so students who interpret language very literally — including ELL students — may need explicit instruction and context to understand their meaning.
