Adding Textures to Text To Help Illustrate Meaning

Textures can be added to the inside of text of specific words to help teach meaning. Providing a visualization of a word can help it stick with someone’s memory. Textures can be added using Word Art in Microsoft Word, Adobe Firefly, and/or the Text Effects feature of Adobe Creative Cloud Express which is available to all educators in Loudoun County Public Schools through LCPS Go. Below are some examples of verbs (core vocabulary words) illustrated with representative textures.

The word drink with the texture of flowing water The word eat made with the textures of different foods The word sleep made with the texture of pillows and beds
