What a clever way to learn about adverbs!

[J-Lynn Van Pelt · Rating 4 out of 5]

I actually really liked this book. I have always had trouble remembering all the adverbs--the ly words are the easy part. This book uses different adverbs in context and illustrates their use to help readers. There is a glossary and other resources at the end of the book. This book makes learning grammar a little more fun.

This is a fun book to read to your students when you are teaching them about aderbs. It gives good examples of what adverbs are and explains adverbs in a way that any one of your students would understand. The book also has good illustrations.

Not bad for a books about grammer. They actually diagram in these books but not too much. And they try to make the examples interesting. Overall not bad. Grades 2+

What a perfect way to bring the description of an adverb home. This book was fun. Not only definitions were given, but also creative sentences and illustrations to partner.
