"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." -Dr. Seuss
Figurative language is a tool that an author uses to help readers see and understand their text. Some common types of figurative language are: simile, metaphor, alliteration, onomatopoeia, idiom, and puns. In using figurative language, writers say one thing and mean another. Thus, figurative language cannot be taken literally.
This website is to help students further explore figurative language to the point of mastery. Start with Study, then move on to Practice, then Play, and finish with Learning Why. Teachers are welcome to use this site as a resource for their classroom.
