Want to Help Your Kids Write Better? Try this!!
Traditionally, our kids used the 5W-and -1-H method to generate ideas when writing. The method helps to come out with some basic ideas of an essay but hardly give any interesting details. To move your kid from a "C" to "B" or a "B" to "A", you may want to try to engage your young writers to write with their senses.
By adding the 5 senses to your composition, you will be able to describe the details and paint a vivid picture.
The 5 senses are made up of " SIGHT, SOUND, TOUCH, SMELL, TASTE" .
SIGHT - what you see with your eyes , details of surroundings and people that you can observe with your eyes.
TOUCH - there are 2 categories of TOUCH
1) how you feel, the emotions you experience in a situation.
2) the texture of objects that you touch, which is the physical contact with objects / people.
TASTE - what you taste with your tongue / what you experience with your lips.
SOUND - what you hear with your ears, sounds in the environment that you are in.
