What are bold words?

Bold words are words that stand out because they’re stronger and more important in a sentence.

Imagine you're reading a story about a cookie, and suddenly it says: "This cookie is the best one ever!" The word best becomes bold to show how special it is, like when your favorite toy gets a shiny sticker on it.

Sometimes, we want certain words to grab attention. Think of it like shouting in a crowd: if someone says "Look at that giant cookie!", the word giant feels louder and more exciting because it's bold.

In writing, people use two asterisks around a word to make it bold. Like this: bold. It’s like putting a special sticker on the word so it shines brighter than the others.

So next time you see a bold word, remember, it's trying to be the star of the sentence!
