Mystifying Metaphors

by Sadie Lewis.

This is a unique resource to aid the mental agility and complex matching skills needed to make sense of metaphors and similes. Literal interpretations are presented in the context of interesting stories, and this leads naturally to the discussions on the 'real interpretations'.
e.g. "on top of the world", "lazy bones","bear hug"

Feature Overlap Circles help the child learn how to work out sayings for themselves, rather than a therapist / teacher telling the child what each one means.

Includes: 2 stories and pictures, record sheets, written and verbal exercises and suggested ways to explain the metaphors in plain English.
