Fascinating Fact:

A horse’s “neigh” is high and strong, so “The horse neighed loudly” paints a clear sound picture.

In KS1 English, children learn animal noise words to bring sentences to life. Using clear sound words helps young readers imagine the scene and understand how characters feel or react.
