What is Figurative Language?
Figurative language is a way of expressing ideas or emotions more creatively and imaginatively. It adds depth and color to our language. Instead of stating things literally, figurative language uses words or phrases to create vivid images or provoke certain emotions. It’s like spicing up your language to make it more flavorful and enjoyable to read or listen to.

Hi Sara,
I tried to use your link for Acorn because I think its a great idea and I want you to get the $5 for suggesting it, but it looks like the link may be broken.
When I tried to use it, it just came up as a blank page. It may be blocked on my work computer, so I’m going to try it again on my home computer, but just so you’re aware to check it.
Thanks,
Chris Prohaska, SLP
