    Mondays are grammar lessons for my and Alice's tutoring sessions. On this day we worked on adverbs, as last week we talked about verbs, nouns, and adjectives. We first reviewed these terms and worked on some fill in the blank questions about verbs, nouns, and adjectives. 

    I gave Alice a small lesson on adverbs. We talked about using clues like detectives to see if a word is an adverb. One of the clues we talked about was "-ly" at the end of a word. We worked on recognition skills first (which word in the sentence is an adverb) then we moved on to productive skills (change this word into an adverb and choose an adverb to go in the blank) We finished out the lesson with a worksheet of fill in the blanks with a wordbank of adverbs. Alice struggled a bit with the words politely and smartly, but was otherwise very capable. I closed the session by asking Alice to pick out a topic for our reading lesson on Wednesday and she chose cats.
