Reading Fundamentals - Verbs and Adverbs Carolyn Hurst

The activities in this book will help your students understand what verbs and adverbs are and how they can use them to strengthen their writing skills. Verbs are words that express action or a state of existence. Adverbs are words that describe or modify the meaning of a verb, another adverb, an adjective, or a sentence. For example, in the sentence, "The frog jumped quickly into the pond." the verb in the sentence is "jumped" and the adverb is "quickly" because it describes how the frog jumped. This is just one of the examples offered in this book with numerous activities based around this sentence to help students easily identify and use verbs and adverbs correctly and effectively. Perfect for emerging readers and writers and ESL students.
