Use this Year 2 Adding 'ly' Prior Learning worksheet to gauge a clearer understanding of what the children already know about adjectives. The focus of this resource is to identify adjectives and the effect they have on sentences. With three fluency, one reasoning and two application questions, children can familiarise themselves again with adjectives before moving on to learning about adverbs and the effect they have on sentences.

This worksheet could be used with individuals or small groups of children who may need a little extra support before the main learning of this lesson. It could also be used as an informal assessment before the main lesson to identify misconceptions.
