IT'S ABOUT TIME for IDIOMS!

Idioms are phrases that have meanings quite different from the individual words.  Understanding the figurative meaning of idioms is essential to fluent speaking, reading, and writing.  And, thus, they are particularly problematic to English Language Learners.  Even native speakers may struggle with the non-literal meaning of idioms.  Hence, it's important to include idiom instruction in your curricula.

Research tells us that optimal instruction for students includes these tenets:

• choose a theme
• engage learners in discovery
• reinforce with games
• discuss specific idioms
• combine idioms with pictures

Now you just need teaching materials.  That's a piece of cake with these resources. Thematic and formatted similarly, each offers:

• card sets that illustrate the literal meaning
  and give the figurative meaning
• instructions for 4 games
• Scoot grid master
• digital activity on TPT Easel

The last 5 units are available in a money saving bundle.

All of the above resources are CCSS aligned for grades 3-5.

These 2 units are FREE!  They allow your learners to display their creativity as they make the illustrations of the literal meanings.
