English Resource Description
The "Words Ending in 'sion' Quiz" is designed for Year 3 and Year 4 students to help them master their spelling skills, specifically focusing on words that end with the 'sion' suffix. This engaging and interactive PowerPoint activity is meant to be a quick exercise lasting between 5 to 10 minutes and requires no additional equipment for the children. The quiz can be used to consolidate learning of statutory words, spelling rules, or patterns that have been taught during the week, and it also serves as a tool to aid in the long-term retention of these concepts.

Other words tested in the quiz include 'precision', 'division', 'persuasion', 'revision', 'supervision', 'invasion', 'decision', and 'erosion'. Each question is designed to reinforce the correct spelling of words with the 'sion' ending, ensuring that students become more confident in their writing and spelling abilities.
