When we write creatively, we want to make our work as interesting and exciting as possible for the reader. 

 

You can do this with language devices. These are things which use words in a particular way to create a picture for the reader. 

 

But you can also create sound for the reader!

 

In this activity, we will look at how to use words to create sound for the reader and make our writing much more exciting to read.
