The problem
Is 'quickly' describing the runner or the running?
Adjectives and adverbs both add detail, so the two blur together. Many words end in -ly, but not all of them, and some adjectives do too.
Trusting the -ly ending
Children label 'friendly' an adverb because it ends in -ly. It describes a noun, so it is an adjective.
Not asking what it describes
The sorting question is whether the word tells about a thing or about an action. Without it, kids just guess.
Words that look alike
'Fast' and 'hard' can be both, depending on the sentence. Third graders need practice seeing the job a word does.
Words are sorted one by one into adjective or adverb, with the question 'does it describe a thing or an action?' built into the practice.

Reteaching & intervention
Pull the flash cards for a small group whose labels keep flipping, then use the assessment to see who is ready.
Questions
Before you buy.
Why do the sorts include words like 'happy' and 'purple'?
They are plain adjectives, mixed in so children can't just hunt for -ly. The contrast is what teaches the difference.
Is this for sentences or single words?
Single words in the sorting cards and the matching sentence work in the companion pages, so children move from naming a word to using it.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PDF with 8 pages. No account needed.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. One teacher or one household can print unlimited copies for their own students, this year and next.
Will it print in color?
The pages are designed to print in black and white, so they print clean on any home or school printer and do not eat a cartridge.
