Adverbs are the words which modify verbs, adjectives and other adverbs. I ask my students to enact various actions and then teach adverbs by describing the actions in different context. Eg The boy ran (how) fast. The bird flew (how) high My grandmother walks (how) slowly.

They are words that describe the verbs ,an adjective or even a whole sentence I teach my kids these words by using many skills and by putting them in different positions to need to use them

Adverbs are words to describe the WAY or HOW you did something (eg.'The student strongly disagreed').Think of it as the adjective of a verb

A way to remember is 'ad' from 'adjective' and 'verb' from 'verb'.
