Today’s task: Find three objects (or people!) in your home and compare them using the language, ‘taller than’ and ‘shorter than.’
Remember that ‘tall’ describes the height of objects that stand up like person or a tower and ‘long’ describes the length of objects that don’t stand up like scarves and snakes.
