Statutory Spelling List 1 Quiz

The KS2Gems 2020 Spelling Quiz is a concise and engaging activity designed for Year 5 and Year 6 pupils, aimed at reinforcing their knowledge of statutory words. Meant to be a brief exercise of 5-10 minutes, the quiz requires no additional equipment and serves as an effective tool to consolidate the teaching of statutory spellings, rules, or patterns. It also aids in the long-term retention of these spellings, ensuring that students can recall them well after their initial introduction.

The quiz is structured as a series of sentences, each with a blank space where students must select the correct spelling of a statutory word from multiple choices. For example, they must choose the correct spelling of 'aggressive' to complete the sentence about a villain, and 'appreciate' to express gratitude for future intentions. The quiz covers a range of words, including 'accommodate', 'achieve', 'apparent', 'accommodation', 'amateur', 'accompany', 'ancient', and 'according'. Each word is presented within a context that not only tests spelling but also comprehension, ensuring that students understand the application of these words in everyday language.
