Adding Adverbs to Our Writing!

If your students are studying persuasive or narrative writing (or any other text type, for that matter), this adverbs poster set is a must-have visual support for your classroom! This set contains four posters, which cover:

• A list of adverbs (with pictures)
• A list of adverbs (without pictures)
• Lists of adverbs sorted into how, where and why columns 
• A definition of adverbs and examples of adverbs of mode, place and reason. 

This poster set will support students’ understanding of how a sentence can be made more specific by adding adverbs, and provide them with usable examples to try in their writing.

1. Print the poster on A3 paper and display it in your classroom for students to reference when doing independent work.
2. Print the poster on A4 paper, slip it into a clear sleeve, and use it in your guided groups as a reminder.
