Revise 'ant', 'ance', 'ancy', 'ent', 'ence' and 'ency' Endings Quiz

The KS2Gems 2021 Spelling Quiz for Years 5 and 6 is a concise and engaging activity designed to help students master the correct use of words ending in 'ant', 'ance', 'ancy', 'ent', 'ence', and 'ency'. This quiz is intended to be a quick 5-10 minute exercise that requires no additional equipment, making it an easy fit into the school day. It serves as an effective tool to consolidate the students' understanding of statutory words, spelling rules, and patterns shortly after they have been introduced or to reinforce long-term retention well after the initial teaching.

Throughout the quiz, students are presented with sentences missing a key word and are challenged to select the correct spelling from a list of options. For example, they must choose the right form of 'currency' to complete the sentence about France's monetary unit. They also encounter words like 'valiant', 'frequent', 'magnificence', 'entrance', 'dominant', 'defence', 'preference', 'excellent', and 'advance', each within a context that aids comprehension. By making choices and immediately seeing the correct answers, students can self-assess their understanding and further ingrain these spellings into their memory. The quiz is structured in a PowerPoint format with slides dedicated to each question, ensuring a clear and focused presentation for both teachers and students.
