Writing Sensory Details for Beginning Writers
Sensory details use the five senses (sight, touch, sound, taste, and
smell) to add depth of detail to writing. Sensory details are details that make a person's writing come alive in the mind of a reader. They enable the author to show rather than tell the reader what is happening. These details also give voice to the narrator or the speaker who is telling the story. This means that an author uses sensory details to immerse the reader into the world of the story. This matters because readers make much better connections to stories when they feel like they are part of the story themselves. The basic definition of sensory details is descriptions within writing that provide explanations that utilize the five senses.
