CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.4.5Demonstrate understanding of figurative language, word relationships, and nuances in word meanings.This is a reference poster I created to assist my students with figurative language. Figurative Language is most difficult for 4th and 5th graders to grasp, especially if they have limited background experience and rich conversations outside of school. Some might say that in some cases teaching figurative language might be developmentally inappropriate depending on the grade.
