Literal vs. nonliteral figurative language 3rd grade worksheet

In this 3rd-grade worksheet, students will read a sentence and then decide whether it is talking about something literal or something nonliteral.  If it is nonliteral, students will then write what the interpretation of the figurative language should actually be; what the sentence actually means.

Purchasing this worksheet through Teachers Pay Teachers also gives you the ability to assign the worksheet digitally which will self-grade the activity.

Compare and Contrast: Which Animal is Cooler

In this compare and contrast activity, students will read two articles or two books, or watch two short Youtube videos about two animals.  Students will then compare and contrast the two animals, finding differences and similarities.  This is a great assignment to bring science and biology into the reading classroom.

I use either Youtube videos or short books found on GetEpic. (GetEpic is a free reading program with thousands of free, fully colored books.)
