This resource is perfectly aligned with the UK National Curriculum for Year 4, which requires pupils to recognise and discuss figurative language in stories and poetry. We understand that some learners find abstract language tricky, so we have created these English figurative language flashcards year 4 supported with scaffolding in mind. Each card uses short, punchy sentences and easy-to-read fonts to reduce cognitive load, ensuring that every child feels confident during English lessons.
Teachers can use these cards for quick-fire starter activities, small group interventions, or as a reference tool during guided reading sessions. They are ideal for SEN (Special Educational Needs) or EAL (English as an Additional Language) pupils who benefit from visual memory aids. You might ask students to match a sentence to the correct figurative language type or have them draw a picture to match the example provided.
The pack includes a helpful word bank to support independent writing, helping children to use these literary devices in their own creative stories. By providing a structured, supportive approach, we help all learners engage with the beauty of the English language.
