Statutory Spelling List 4 Quiz

The KS2Gems 2020 Spelling Quiz is an engaging and concise activity designed for Year 5 and Year 6 students to reinforce their knowledge of statutory spellings. The quiz is a quick exercise, taking just 5-10 minutes, and requires no additional equipment for the children. It serves as an effective tool to consolidate the learning of statutory words, spelling rules, and patterns that have been taught during the week, as well as to aid in the long-term retention of these spellings.

Throughout the quiz, students are presented with sentences and must choose the correct spelling of a word to complete each one. For example, they are asked to select the correct spelling of 'equip' to fit in the sentence "For this expedition you will need to _____ yourself with waterproof clothes." Other words they are quizzed on include 'desperate', 'embarrass', 'develop', 'environment', 'equipped', 'determined', 'disastrous', 'equipment', and 'dictionary'. Each word has three incorrect variants alongside the correct spelling, challenging the students to pick the right one. This format not only tests their spelling skills but also reinforces the context in which these words can be used.
