How to Use This Pack

Four pages of adjectives and adverbs. On two pages each sentence has a blank and two choices, an adjective and its adverb, such as happy and happily, and children circle the one that fits. On two pages they circle the adverb that tells how the animal does something. Some of those sentences have an adjective too: The happy seal swims slowly.

In the Classroom

Act out adverbs: walk slowly, walk quickly, walk quietly. Then ask whether a word tells about a noun (what kind) or a verb (how). Before the page, read each sentence aloud with both choices.

At Home

Play a how game: your child does something, such as clapping, and you say how: loudly, softly, quickly. Then switch.

Tips for Success

  • Find the verb first
  • An adverb tells how
  • Many adverbs end in ly
  • An adjective tells about a noun
