3rd grade Core grade
Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.
Sorting adverbs by how, when, and where turns a vague part of speech into three concrete jobs. Third graders sort quickly and start using the categories in reverse: reaching for a when-word or a how-word on purpose.
-
4th grade
Fourth graders sort a richer bank (immediately, frequently, abroad, beforehand) and defend each placement by asking the question aloud. The categories also organize their writing toolbox: varying how, when, and where openers is a grade-4 sentence-crafting move.
