Onomatopoeia: Discovering Sounds in Literature and the Natural World


Dear First Graders,

Today we learned about how Dr. Seuss used sounds in his writing. We all seemed to think that using sounds makes our writing more exciting for the reader.

This web address will bring to you an excellent page with links to dozens of cool nature sounds to use in your writing.

This page has a really cool list of words that you might want to try.

Enjoy your lesson in the computer lab. Don't forget you can go to these pages from any computer with internet access.

- Mr. R.
