Talking Points
"Adjectives are words that describe nouns. They tell us more about the noun."
"When we say 'blue sky', the word 'blue' is an adjective because it describes the noun 'sky'."
"Can you think of adjectives to describe your favorite toy? How about your pet?"
"Using adjectives in our writing makes it more exciting and helps paint a picture in the reader's mind."
