- Simile, metaphor and personificationLesson
Tell a simile, a metaphor and personification apart, and explain what each one means.

Find a word by alphabetical order and guide words, read what its entry tells you, and use a thesaurus to find a better word.

Find what a passage is mainly about, tell a supporting detail apart from the main idea, and separate what a passage says from what it does not.
- Note-making and summarisingLesson

Lay out a friendly letter in its usual parts, and keep the language warm rather than official.
