Metaphors form a cornerstone of figurative language instruction, challenging students to recognize and interpret how authors create vivid comparisons by stating that one thing is another. Reading comprehension activities focusing on metaphors through Wayground (formerly Quizizz) provide students with carefully selected passages that contain both explicit and implicit metaphorical language, accompanied by text-based questions that require critical thinking and deep analysis. These resources develop essential skills including identifying metaphorical expressions within context, understanding the relationship between the compared elements, analyzing how metaphors contribute to meaning and tone, and evaluating the effectiveness of an author's figurative language choices in enhancing the overall message of the text. Wayground (formerly Quizizz) empowers teachers with access to millions of teacher-created reading comprehension resources specifically designed to strengthen students' understanding of metaphorical language across various text types and complexity levels. The platform's robust search and filtering capabilities enable educators to locate materials aligned with specific learning standards while offering extensive customization tools that support differentiation for diverse learning needs.
