Adverb Teaching Tips for Kids:
Are you wondering the best way to begin teaching adverbs to your kids? Or how to explain them to younger kids? Here are a couple tips:
When first introducing adverbs to younger kids, you want to explain that an adverb tells us more about the verb. You will also want to point out that adverbs will answer the questions: where? when? how? how often? and how much? And will commonly end with ‘-ly’.
Then for older students, you will need to elaborate and begin to teach your kids that adverbs can not only modify verbs, but they can also modify another adverbs and adjectives as well. (Check out the examples of this below.)
Examples of various adverb uses within sentences:
- Adverb describing a verb: Her jeans fit loosely .
- Adverb describing another adverb: Her jeans fit very loosely.
- Adverb describing a adjective: Her wore very loose jeans.
