Making Sense of Figurative Language 2

If someone runs as fast as a cheetah, can they really run 70 mph? Figurative language is a tool that authors use to help readers visualize what is happening in a story or poem. In this worksheet, children practice identifying and interpreting one type of figurative language, similes, in nine sample sentences. Designed for third graders, this worksheet helps develop students' understanding and awareness of similes as figurative language.
