Core Language Skills

Adjectives and adverbs make language more descriptive and precise. This accessible guide teaches students how to employ these useful words and the importance of picking the right word to get your point across. The content correlates to the Grade 3 Common Core Language Standards, specifically CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.3.1a, 1g, 2g, 3a, 4, and 5. Students will learn to use dictionaries, context, and root words to figure out the meaning of new words and will practice their skills in sample exercises, whose answers are explained in a key.
