Text, Questions & Answers

Did you know words can paint pictures just like a paintbrush? This is called figurative language. It's like when we say, 'The sun is a golden ball in the sky.' It's not really a ball, but it helps us imagine how it looks. Or when we say, 'The stars are twinkling diamonds.' They're not really diamonds, but it makes us think of their brightness. And listen to the wind; it's whispering secrets to the leaves. Wind can't whisper, but it helps us imagine it. Do you have examples of figurative language? Look around and see if you can make one too!
