First of all, if you are starting with an early elementary aged student, it’s important that they understand that an adverb tells us more about the verb.

• Brainstorm Adverb Ideas: Start by choosing a verb (shone, run, sang, danced, etc) and place that word in the middle of your brainstorm map. (available in the free printable.) Next, come up with a list of adverbs that could possibly describe that verb. Lastly, you can discuss which question the adverbs answered about the verb.
