Sense Identification Answer Key

Students read a list of descriptive sensory words and match each one to the correct sense by circling sight, sound, smell, taste, or touch. The worksheet helps students distinguish between different types of sensory imagery and understand how authors use specific words to evoke sensory experience. This task strengthens vocabulary awareness and encourages readers to think more deeply about descriptive language. It also supports analytical thinking as students determine the most accurate sensory category for each word.
