Adding Prefixes 'il' and 'in' Quiz

The KS2Gems Spelling Quiz is an engaging educational activity designed for Year 3 and Year 4 students to strengthen their understanding of adding the prefixes 'in' and 'il' to words. This quick quiz, which takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete, does not require any equipment and can be used as a refresher to consolidate the learning of statutory words, spelling rules, or patterns taught during the week. It also serves as an effective tool to aid in the long-term retention of spelling knowledge, away from the initial lesson.

During the quiz, students are presented with a series of sentences and asked to choose the correct spelling of a given word that fits each sentence. For example, they might be asked to select the correct spelling of a word to complete the sentence "Snow is ________ in the UK," with the options being 'infrequent', 'infreequent', 'infrequnt', or 'infreequnt'. Other sentences require students to find the correct spelling for words such as 'invisible', 'illegible', 'injustice', and 'incorrect', among others. Each sentence is designed to test the pupils' knowledge of the correct use of 'in' and 'il' prefixes and their ability to recognise and spell words accurately.
