Connotation and denotation reading comprehension activities for Grade 6 students provide essential practice in distinguishing between the literal meanings of words and their emotional or cultural associations. Through carefully crafted reading passages and text-based questions, these resources help students develop critical thinking skills by analyzing how authors choose specific words to convey deeper meanings beyond dictionary definitions. Students engage with authentic texts that demonstrate how identical denotative meanings can carry vastly different connotative weight, building their ability to interpret nuanced language and understand how word choice affects tone, mood, and reader response.
