Five Way Sorting Answer Key

In this worksheet, students read a list of descriptive words and sort each one into the correct sensory category: sight, sound, smell, taste, or touch. They write each word inside the matching box, reinforcing their understanding of how sensory language works. The activity encourages students to think carefully about descriptive vocabulary and how writers use specific words to evoke vivid sensory imagery. By categorizing words, students strengthen their ability to recognize and apply sensory details in reading and writing. This skill directly supports narrative development and descriptive writing fluency.
