Description: This Boom Learning deck helps students practice similes by selecting the animal that best completes the comparison. The deck covers the following Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for 3rd and 4th grade: L.3.4.a and L.4.4.a: Use sentence-level context as a clue to the meaning of a word or phrase. L.3.5 and L.4.5: Demonstrate understanding of figurative language, word relationships and nuances in word meanings. The deck has multiple-choice questions that check how well students know common similes that involve animals, such as “as busy as a bee” or “as sly as a fox.” The deck is a fun and useful way to improve language and vocabulary skills.
