When you write longer pieces of work, it is important to keep the reader interested. One method of doing this is
through using a variety of sentence lengths.
Read this text carefully. The paragraph
highlighted in red used only short, simple
sentences and as a reader it becomes boring,
quickly.
The second paragraph uses a variety of
sentence lengths to keep the reader
interested. One or two word sentences are
really effective for making the reader pause or
to emphasise something.
Even using a really long sentence occasionally
can keep the reader interested.
Activity 2 Look at the paragraphs below. Each paragraph is made up of medium to long sentences. Find space where
you could add short sentences of up to 5 words which will have a strong effect on the reader.
The sea swelled and stretched over the soft sand that shone as bright as gold, as Eli paddled on the shore.
He shot up spluttering as a strong wave drenched him in ice cold water, shooting his parents a sour look as
they laughed at him.
Carefully, Shameema reached her cold, shaking hands out towards the door, praying that the rust door
handle would stay silent as she slowly pressed down on the handle. Jumping in fright, Shameema jumped
into the shadows and held her breath, terrified of being caught. Taking a deep breath, she peeped through
the crack in the door and that’s when she saw it. The multimillion pound, carefully looked after, sparkling
potato peeler - stolen from her mansion only days before.

Activity 3 Write a paragraph for each of these scenarios, using the pictures to help you. Remember to include a
