Adding Prefixes 'im' and 'ir' Quiz

The Y3/4 Spelling Quiz 16 is a concise educational activity designed to enhance children's understanding of the prefixes 'im' and 'ir'. This PowerPoint quiz, which is intended to be a brief 5-10 minute activity, requires no additional equipment for the children. It serves as an effective tool to consolidate the learning of statutory words, spelling rules, and patterns taught within the week, as well as to aid in the long-term retention of these concepts away from the initial teaching session.

During the quiz, children are tasked with choosing the correct spelling of a word to complete a given sentence. For example, they must select the right form of the word to convey impatience for the arrival of a parcel or to identify something as irrelevant to a discussion. Other sentences require the selection of the correct spelling for words like 'immaterial', 'impossible', 'irregular', 'irresponsible', 'impolite', 'immortal', 'immodest', and 'immoral'. Each question presents a set of similar-sounding options, challenging the children to apply their knowledge of the prefixes 'im' and 'ir' to identify the correct spelling.
