Build Good Writers with Strong Verb Knowledge

This set of slides has been created to help children learn about strong verbs. Strong verbs provide more description than weak verbs. Teaching your students about strong verbs will not only enrich their language skills but also engage readers by making the writing more dynamic and compelling.

Strong verbs:

• put a detailed picture in the reader’s mind
• are concise and keep the reader’s attention
• convey the level of meaning to a reader
• connect the subject and the action in the sentence.
