Context clues power point
Context clues are hints in the text that can help the reader understand the meaning of unfamiliar words without having to look them up.

Key points are distinguishing active voice where the subject performs the action from passive voice where the subject receives the action.
Sensory images
This document provides guidance on using sensory imagery to improve reading skills. It discusses using the five senses of taste, smell, touch, sight, and hearing to visualize and understand texts.

Literal and Figurative Language
- 2. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? Literal Language Uses similes, metaphors, hyperbole, and personification to describe something often through comparison with something different. It means exactly what it says. Figurative Language
- 3. Figurative Language Figurative language is more elaborate than literal language, and this type of writing is commonly used in works of literature.
- 4. Idiom (an expression that has a figurative meaning unrelated to the literal meaning of the phrase.) “She drowned her sorrows in alcohol.” Metaphor (a figure of speech used in comparison) “He is the apple of her eye.” Oxymoron (two words having opposite meanings are used together) “She felt that it was time for this bittersweet relationship to end.”
- 5. “Her eyes were like the deep pools to her soul.” “The old man waited for Death to come to him.” Simile (compares two things) Personification (giving human characteristics to a non-living thing) Hyperbole (exaggeration) “You scared me to death.”
- 6. Here are some examples: Literal Descriptions Figurative Descriptions • Grass looks green. • Sand feels rough. • The flower smells sweet. • Grasshoppers make a high pitched noise. • The grass looks like spiky green hair. (simile) • Sand is solid water. (metaphor) • The flower has the sweetest smelling petals in the world. (hyperbole) • Grasshoppers are fiddlers who play their legs. (personification)
- 7. Hope you learn a lot!
