Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching Children about Figurative Language and More was designed to familiarize students with various language terms and to help develop their skills as writers. In less than 50 pages, they will learn what constitutes a complete sentence, will learn about plot structure, and will become familiar with writing techniques that authors often incorporate into their writing, such as imagery, alliteration, and assonance. The four different types of sentences (imperative, declarative, interrogative, and exclamatory) will also be studied, and students will be able to differentiate between sentences written in the first person, second person, and third person. In addition, easy-to-understand definitions, examples, and colorful illustrations are provided to familiarize students with the terms personification, onomatopoeia, simile, metaphor, hyperbole, idiom, irony, oxymoron, acronym, antonym, and synonym. Moreover, students will learn how to distinguish between the often-confused words homonyms, homophones, homographs, and heteronyms. (Note that the pages that teach these language terms also provide the correct pronunciation and that there is a pronunciation guide included in the book.) Besides the terms mentioned above, students will learn when "can" should be used in a sentence in place of "may" and when "I" should be used in place of "me." Several reproducible worksheets and a practice test are also available for individual practice, to assess student learning, or for a teacher to use for direct instruction purposes on the classroom screen. The practice test is included at the end of the book. The same practice test is also available online as a computer-based test. You can access the test free of charge by visiting the website of Habakkuk Educational Materials at https://www.habakkuk.net/. When the student feels confident or at the teacher's discretion, there is also a computer-based unit test they can take to test their comprehension over the book's content.This book could be introduced to students as early as the first grade and used throughout elementary, middle, and high school. Actual testing of the content could begin as early as the 3rd grade. For more information or to contact Habakkuk Educational Materials, please visit the website below.https://www.habakkuk.net/
