Fascinating Fact:

Choose exciting adjectives, like “sparkly”, “muddy”, “grumpy”, “zooming”, to make writing fun.

In KS1 English, children learn to use more than one adjective together to build lively descriptions. Carefully chosen words help readers imagine settings, characters, and actions in a clear, memorable way.

  • Adjective: A describing word that tells us more about a noun, such as bouncy, muddy, or sparkly.
  • Expanded noun phrase: A noun with extra detail, like “the grumpy, muddy dog”.
  • Description: Words that paint a picture for the reader using interesting adjectives.
What are adjectives for KS1 children?

For KS1 children, adjectives are simple describing words such as big, tiny, noisy, shiny, or grumpy that add detail to nouns and make sentences more interesting.

How can I teach my child to use more adjectives?

Ask your child to add two or three words before a noun, like “the spooky, dark, creaking house”, and talk about how each adjective changes the picture in their mind.

Can you use more than one adjective before a noun?

Yes. Children can use a string of adjectives before a noun, such as “a long, muddy, twisty path”, as long as it still sounds clear and natural when read aloud.
