Use this Year 2 Recognising and Using Adverbs in Sentences Prior Learning worksheet to gauge a clearer understanding of what the children already know about adverbs. The focus of this resource is to recognise and understand the difference between verbs and adverbs. With three fluency, one reasoning and two application questions, children can familiarise themselves again with adverbs before moving on to using them.

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.
