The sparkle words
Adjectives are words that describe nouns. They tell what kind, how many or which one: a fluffy puppy, three apples, that blue bike. Kindergarteners and 1st graders start with color, size and shape words, then describe how things look, sound, feel, smell and taste. In 2nd and 3rd grade kids compare with adjectives: tall, taller, tallest and good, better, best. Older students learn to choose precise adjectives, like enormous instead of big. The click is when a child rereads their sentence and says, "It needs a better describing word!"
Adjectives bring writing to life. These moves help kids find and use the perfect one.
Put a mystery object in a bag and let kids feel, smell or shake it. They list adjectives for each sense before guessing what it is. Describing with all five senses gives kids way more words than "nice" and "big."
Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.

Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).

Why it works: showing first, practicing together, then letting kids try alone is the "gradual release" model teachers have relied on for decades (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).

An adjective is a describing word. It tells more about a noun, like what color, size, shape or how many. In "the red ball," red is the adjective.
Comparative adjectives compare two things, like taller or more colorful. Superlative adjectives compare three or more, like tallest or most colorful.
Kids start using adjectives in kindergarten and 1st grade. Second graders learn to choose between adjectives and adverbs, and 3rd graders form comparative and superlative adjectives.
Ask questions about their sentence: What color was it? How big? How did it feel? Each answer is an adjective they can add.
