Modified Basic Skills Adjectives And Adverbs

The Story

Identifying and using parts of speech correctly is a skill that every student must be proficient in to become a good writer. The fun activities in this book make teaching adjectives and adverbs easy and enjoyable. Students will enjoy the variety of activities and the colorful art. You will enjoy the ease with which the reproducible pages can be used. They are perfect for one-on-one instruction, small group exercises, or for homework assignments. The tasks in the book vary from coloring, underlining, circling, and drawing. A few exercises require students to call upon their prior knowledge and experience, as well. The book is divided into two sections—adjectives and adverbs. Each section is to be used on its own to teach that specific part of speech. Both sections require students to identify adjectives or adverbs or use correct adjectives or adverbs from a given Word Bank in a sentence. Toward the end of both sections, students must put their creativity to work to come up with their own adjectives and adverbs. The slow increase of difficulty through the sections allows students to practice the skill of identifying adjectives and adverbs before writing their own. This book is the perfect tool to use for instruction, practice, and reinforcement of this specific skill.
