Abstract

Children with learning disabilities may have a problem in interpreting metaphor and need specific guidance and practice. This study found that direct feedback and practice could significantly increase metaphor performance of these children. Further descriptive analyses indicated that grade and reading levels of the subjects correlated with their metaphor performance.
