Why I Created This Resource

Too often students lack academic vocabulary to analyze literary devices. These comprehensive word banks, bolded anchor words, and sentence frames (or "flex frames") provide all students easy access. Use to analyze setting and mood in novels, children's books, poetry, YouTube animated clips, and movie trailers.
