Statutory Spellings List 2 Quiz

The KS2Gems 2020 Spelling Quiz is a brief yet effective PowerPoint activity designed for Year 3 and Year 4 students to reinforce their understanding of statutory words. With a duration of 5-10 minutes, this quiz requires no additional equipment for the children and serves as a great tool to consolidate their knowledge of the statutory word list, spelling rules, and patterns. It's particularly useful for aiding long-term retention of these words, as it can be used shortly after initial teaching or at a later date to refresh the students' memory.

During the quiz, students are presented with sentences where they must choose the correct spelling of a missing word from a list of options. For example, they are asked to select the correct spelling of 'busy' to complete the sentence "I’m far too ______ to help you today." The options given are 'bussie', 'busy', 'bizi', and 'busi', with 'busy' being the correct answer. This pattern continues with other words such as 'calendar', 'centre', 'breath', 'certain', 'build', 'breathe', 'century', 'business', and 'caught'. Each slide presents a new sentence and set of options, challenging students to identify the correct spelling and apply their knowledge in context.
