The Crosswalk Painters

Find and choose adjectives and adverbs in a story about a road crew.

Read the story

An adjective tells about a noun, like a red hat. An adverb tells about a verb, like ran quickly. Read the story and look for both kinds of words.

New Lines on Elm Street

1On Monday, a road crew came to Elm Street. Nia watched from the school gate. Two workers set tall orange cones around the old crosswalk. Its faded white lines were hard to see.

2Mr. Haddad drove a small truck slowly across the street. The truck sprayed thick white paint onto the road. Then Ms. Ito carefully painted the edges with a wide brush. Soon the lines were straight and even.

3The fresh paint was wet and sticky. A curious cat crept toward the lines. Ms. Ito clapped her hands loudly, and the cat dashed away. Nia giggled at the gate.

4By lunchtime, the paint was dry. The crew picked up the cones and drove away. The new crosswalk looked bright and clean. The next morning, Nia and her dad crossed the street safely.
