HYPERBOLES, SIMILES AND MORE! The secret tools you need to make writing fun for your child. Adventures in Writing: A Fun Guide to Figurative Language is a comprehensive, full-color, professionally designed workbook that emphasizes the fun in writing. Each chapter has an easy to understand definition, plenty of worksheets for practice, and always ends with a game or activity. Figurative language makes writing fun. Whether it's creating massive exaggerations, making animals talk or putting words together that roll right off of your tongue, there's no denying that writing is a blast. (Yes, that's a metaphor!) Sure, you can write that the lady next door snoops, but wouldn't it be more fun to say that the crazy cat lady next door is one bulb shy of a chandelier or one fry short of a happy meal, and can't keep her nose out of my business? Adventures in Writing: A Fun Guide to Figurative Language is for students in grades 3-6. It includes instruction in personification, onomatopoeia, interjection, alliteration, hyperbole, metaphor, simile and idiom. Let your children in on the fun! They will become better writers, communicators and students.
This is such a wonderful tool in the classroom! I am currently using this with my 6th graders and they love it! As a teacher, I really appreciate how they create fun assignments for kids. I have found that my students really enjoy comparing their writing to each other and see who can beat the class with the fun figurative language games. A great purchase for any classroom or for a child who just needs a fun way to be inspired to write.
This book is delightful! Not only a great way to teach children, but also a wonderful way to refresh one's own recollection of figurative language!
