Reading and Listening--VOA News

Voice of American news articles have news stories you can listen to and read at the same time. You can choose from Level 1, 2, or 3 reading levels. Once you choose a story, you listen to the news story, but you can also read and follow the text (just below the picture).

My suggestion: Click on the link below to listen to and read a story about a new kind of Lego set.

What Do Adverbs Do?

Below is a link to a short review of what adverbs are and how to use them.

My suggestion: Click on the link below and read the chart to review adverbs. Then click on the second link to try a quiz--can you tell the difference between adjectives and adverbs?

(NOTE: The chart at the first link shows how adverbs modify verbs and adjectives. However, it does not tell you about the use of adverbs to modify other adverbs).
