Word Choice
Good writers choose their words carefully in order to get their ideas across.
When you write, choose just the right words and use them correctly. Make them fun and interesting so they help your readers "see" what you are talking about. Try not to use the same words over and over again. If you don't choose your words carefully, your reader may not understand what you're trying to say.
Lesson 1: Use Action Words
Choosing the words we use in our writing is a very important step. We want our readers to understand our writing. Our sentences have parts, just like our stories do.
Every sentence has an action word. An action is something that is happening. Action words can make our writing exciting. Action words tell what people or things do.
A dog can dig. I can jump. Leaves can fall.
Dig, jump, and fall are action words. They tell us what is happening.
