Words Spelt 'ie' or 'ei' Quiz

A quick and engaging spelling quiz designed for Year 5/6 students focuses on the correct use of 'ie' or 'ei' in various words. This PowerPoint quiz, intended to take just 5-10 minutes, requires no additional equipment for the children and serves as an excellent tool to consolidate their understanding of statutory words or spelling rules and patterns. The quiz is also helpful for aiding long-term retention of the spelling concepts taught earlier in the week.

Each slide presents a sentence with a missing word, offering multiple-choice options that test the pupils' ability to choose the correct spelling. For example, they must decide between 'absiel', 'abseil', 'abseill', and 'absail' to correctly complete the sentence about descending a tower. Other sentences require selecting the right spelling for words like 'fiend', 'grievance', 'priest', 'species', 'neigh', 'niece', 'protein', 'seize', and 'relief'. The quiz is a fun and interactive way for students to practice and reinforce their spelling skills, particularly with those tricky 'ie' and 'ei' words.
