📚 Topic Summary
Sensory words, also known as descriptive words, help us paint a picture with our writing! They appeal to our five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. By using sensory words, we can make our stories and descriptions more vivid and interesting for our readers. For example, instead of saying "The flower was nice," we can say "The flower had a sweet fragrance and velvety petals."
