About this resource

Description

Adverbs are the words that tell how, when, or where something happens, and a short story is the best place for young readers to spot them at work. The Adverb Movie Worksheet invites second graders to read a cheerful story about a family trip to the movies and hunt for every adverb hiding in it. Words like quickly, soon, and upstairs pop off the page once students know the three questions an adverb answers.

This 2nd grade adverbs worksheet has two simple steps. First, students read the nine-sentence story and circle the nine adverbs they find. Next, they sort each adverb by writing it under How, When, or Where, so they have to think about the job each word does, not just find it. Use the page after a grammar mini-lesson, as a literacy center, as morning work, or as homework. The answer key that comes with this adverb movie worksheet shows every circled adverb and the finished sort, so checking takes only a minute.

What’s Included

  • 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
  • Answer key
  • An original movie-day story with nine adverbs to circle and a How, When, and Where sort chart

There are three reasons this practice works well. First, finding adverbs inside a real story is harder and more meaningful than spotting them in single sentences, so students learn to read for grammar. Second, the sorting step moves children from recognizing an adverb to understanding what it tells the reader. Third, the story uses short, friendly sentences written at a second grade reading level, so the thinking goes into the grammar instead of into decoding.

Keep the fun going after the page is done. Have students reread a favorite picture book and list three adverbs they find. Play adverb charades, where one child acts out a verb in a silly way and the class guesses the adverb. Ask students to write two sentences about the last movie they watched and underline the adverbs. You can also give partners a plain sentence and challenge them to add a how, a when, and a where word.
