Adding Suffixes 'ly' List 2 Quiz

The KS2Gems 2020 quiz, tailored for Year 3 and Year 4 students, is an engaging and concise activity designed to enhance spelling proficiency, particularly in the use of the suffix 'ly'. This quick 5-10 minute quiz requires no additional equipment and serves as an excellent tool to reinforce the learning of statutory words, spelling rules, and patterns. By integrating this quiz into the weekly curriculum, teachers can support students in retaining the spelling concepts taught and aid in their long-term memory development.

During the quiz, students are presented with sentences that contain a blank space where an adverb ending in 'ly' should be placed. They are then tasked with selecting the correct spelling of the adverb from a list of options. For example, in sentences such as "It was _______ dark and spooky that night," students choose between 'horribly', 'horriblly', 'horrubly', and 'horrobly', with the correct answer being 'horribly'. The quiz continues with similar sentences, each designed to test the student's ability to accurately apply the 'ly' suffix to different root words, ensuring that they understand not only the spelling but also the context in which these adverbs are used.
