Comprehension | Fluency | Reading | Metaphors & Similes | Language Comprehension

Understanding the meaning of any written text is the ultimate goal of any reading program.

This book was designed to support just that. In the Science of Reading, Text Comprehension is what developing Phonics and Vocabulary skills is all about. After learning how to decode words and expand vocabulary, the next step for students is overall comprehension which means understanding individual words, as well as how they are used in sentences, paragraphs, and texts as a whole.

The focus of this book is specific, targeted practice with understanding similes and metaphors. The use of similes or metaphors can make a sentence, paragraph or story more colorful and interesting. Students that understand the meanings of these figures of speech will enjoy an enriched reading and writing experience.
