Check understanding
- Replace vague words in 'The nice man went to the big house' with more precise alternatives and explain the effect
- Write two versions of the same scene — one with plain language and one with carefully chosen words for suspense or humour
- Select from a word bank the most effective verb and adjective for a given sentence, justifying each choice
“When your child writes descriptive or creative pieces, do they choose interesting and precise words — like "sprinted" instead of "ran", or "crimson" instead of "red" — to create a specific effect?”
