Sensory details include sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. Writers employ the five senses to engage a reader’s interest. If you want your writing to jump off the page, then bring your reader into the world you are creating. When describing a past event, try and remember what you saw, heard, touched, smelled, and tasted, then incorporate that into your writing. Sensory details are used in any great story, literary or not. Think about your favourite movie or video game. What types of sounds and images are used? What do your favorite characters taste, smell, and touch? Without sensory details, stories would fail to come to life. When sensory details are used, your readers can personally experience whatever you’re trying to describe, reminding them of their own experiences, giving your writing a universal feel. A universal quality is conveyed when the writer can personally connect with the readers. Another note about sensory details: there is no one sense that’s more important than another. It all depends on the scene you’re trying to create. However, imagery, the sight sense, is a common feature in vivid writing. You will receive a zip file containing a PDF and PowerPoint version of this resource. Each image is presented in A full page image A full page image with sensory prompts Planning Template Draft writing Template Lined Paper Suggested word examples for each part of speech

Are you looking for a fun and interesting way to engage your students Learning and mastering addition facts with sums to 2 can be challenging for students, but not with this fun and interactive powerpoint. This Powerpoint product includes 4 slides that your students can practice their addition fluency to 2.

Simply make a copy of this product and choose the slides that you want to assign. This is for use by one teacher in one classroom.

A Social Narrative is an effective way to teach children how to navigate a new situation, such as starting school or preschool. Social Narratives can help children understand what to expect at school or preschool and they can be used to support orientation, which is particularly useful when children and families are not able to be on-site.  Encouraging children to try new foods once is a common social skill that needs to be frequently addressed.  As educators we always will say things like, “go on , give it a try’ or “You never know, you might love it",  however we need to explicitly teach these skills. This story can be used to help children to broaden their interest and likes in different foods
