All about Sensory Words
Sensory words describe how things look, sound, smell, taste, feel and move. They help readers picture a scene as if they were there. Words like crunchy, sizzling, sweet and fluffy are all sensory words.
Writers use sensory words to create mood. A story about a forest might mention the cool, damp smell of moss or the crackle of leaves underfoot. Choosing sensory words carefully makes writing come alive.
