📚 Topic Summary
Sensory imagery is when writers use words to help you imagine how something tastes, feels, or smells. It makes the story come alive! Think about describing a lemon: instead of just saying 'a lemon,' you could say 'a sour, tangy lemon that makes your mouth water.' That's sensory imagery!
These worksheets will help you practice using your senses to describe things. Get ready to use your imagination!
