Description
Help students build a deeper understanding of figurative language with this activity focused on proverbs and common expressions. Many students struggle to distinguish between the literal and figurative meanings of sayings, making it difficult to understand conversations, stories, and classroom discussions. This resource gives meaningful practice interpreting proverbs, making inferences, and applying figurative language in real-life contexts. Proverbs / common sayings communicate advice, wisdom, or life lessons. Because their meanings are figurative rather than literal, students often misunderstand the message they are intended to convey. In this deck, students determine whether each proverb or expression is meant literally or figuratively, infer its intended meaning, and select the real-life situation where the advice best applies. Open-ended questions encourage students to explain their thinking and demonstrate true understanding. This deck includes: • 23 real-life scenarios • 44 multiple-choice questions • 11 open-ended response prompts Perfect for speech therapy, SLPs, special education, ELA, reading intervention, and upper elementary through middle school students.
