Using a combination of imagery and sensory imagery arms the reader with as much information as possible and helps them create a more vivid mental picture of what is happening.

Instead of writing what the reader should think or know, writers use sensory imagery to provide clues about what’s going on. The reader can then make their own judgments and come to their own conclusions.

Remember that new line about that pie with its sweet aroma and buttery crust? Well, if you love pie, then reading that line might make your mouth water too. But even if you hate pie, you’ll react to reading this sentence. You might react negatively, but you’ll still react. Either way, you’re now engaged in my world as a reader. That’s why writers use sensory imagery.

It is when a reader combines their schema and the information in the text to create an image in their mind. This image can represent all of the five senses (visual, smell, taste, sound, touch or feeling). Creating sensory images also helps a reader draw on specific details in the text (e.g. a character’s thoughts, words or actions; elements of tone, meaning or beauty of a text), creating an interaction between the reader and the text. When readers make sensory images as they read, it helps them understand and enjoy the story more. It is as if you are experiencing the text as it is happening and it is hard to stop reading. ]]> 2022-05-30 09:36:29 UTC https://padlet.com/franciscommj/5ftb92syr2wm9rdf/wish/2204448185
