About this skill
Many adverbs end in -ly, but not all (fast, well). Test by asking what the word describes.
How to teach it
- Read each sentence aloud — your ear often catches what your eye misses.
- Connect every rule to the child's own writing.
- Keep practice short and frequent.
Mistakes to watch for
- Learning rules without applying them in real sentences.
