Details that Shine: Adding Details for Class 4 

This Class 4 worksheet on Sentences: Adding Details teaches children how to make their sentences clearer, richer, and more interesting by adding the right describing words. Instead of using plain or incomplete sentences, learners practice filling in meaningful details such as size, color, type, texture, and place. The worksheet builds strong foundational writing habits through five engaging tasks—fill-in-the-blank, multiple-choice questions, sentence rewriting, a descriptive passage, and paragraph writing.

On pages 3–5, students choose suitable details like warm mat, shiny balloon, soft soil, and bright dress, learning the difference between sensible and nonsense descriptions. The descriptive passage on page 8 includes context clues about a park—cool breeze, gentle fragrance, tiny squirrel, and long shadows—showing children how details improve imagery in writing.

Adding details helps children: 
1. Write clearer, more descriptive sentences. 
2. Strengthen vocabulary and expressive language. 
3. Create vivid imagery for readers.
