Sentence Rewriting with Adverbs

This worksheet is designed to help students in Grades 4 and 5 strengthen grammar fluency, sentence revision skills, descriptive writing, word choice, and syntactic awareness through a creative rewriting activity. Using the short story The Rainy Race, students rewrite each sentence by adding a specific type of adverb-manner, time, place, frequency, or degree-learning how modifiers deepen meaning, improve tone, and add clarity to narrative writing.
