Definition:
Words that sound similar to how they are described.
Example:
The snake hissed at me when I tried to touch it, it didn't like me close to it.
The word hiss sound like the hissing of a snake.
Why is it important in Language Arts?
Onomatopoeia helps the reader to understand the sound of the word without describing it, just like my example, which is hiss.
