Why get the bundle
- The bundle gives repeated practice, so strong verbs move from the cards into children's own stories.
The problem
'Said loudly' when 'shouted' was right there
Second and third graders lean on 'said' and 'walked' plus an adverb. Stronger verbs pack the same meaning into one word.
Two words where one will do
'Walked slowly' and 'said quietly' are fine, but 'strolled' and 'whispered' say it better.
Vocabulary gap
Children know the weak word and the idea, but not the precise verb that replaces them.
Close but off
Shout, cry and yell are near each other. Picking the one that matches the meaning needs care.
Each card shows a verb plus an adverb, 'said loudly,' and the child picks the single verb that means the same, such as 'shouted.'
What’s inside
30 questions, one per slide.
Students type straight into the box — no printing, no cutting.

Questions
Before you buy.
Do kids write their own?
They choose from options. The next step is replacing a weak verb in their own writing.
What formats are there?
Task cards, clip cards, flash cards, an assessment and a Google Slides deck.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PowerPoint file you can open in Google Slides.
Can I share it with my class?
Yes — one teacher can use it with their own students, this year and next. Sharing the file with other teachers needs a separate license.
Do I need Google Slides?
No. The file is a PowerPoint (.pptx). It opens in PowerPoint, and in Google Slides once you upload it to Google Drive.
