Statutory Spelling List 5 Quiz

The KS2Gems 2020 Spelling Quiz is a succinct and engaging activity designed for Year 5 and Year 6 students to enhance their spelling proficiency. The quiz is a quick 5-10 minute exercise that requires no additional equipment, making it an ideal classroom activity. It is particularly useful for consolidating the learning of statutory words, spelling rules, and patterns. The quiz also aids in the long-term retention of spelling knowledge by revisiting words after the initial teaching phase.

Each slide in the quiz presents a sentence with a blank space where students must choose the correct spelling of a statutory word from a list of options. For example, students are asked to select the correct spelling of words to complete sentences like "What is your _______ for breaking my vase?" and "What type of ________ is there in the UK?" The quiz covers a variety of words, including 'explanation', 'government', 'especially', 'forty', 'exaggerate', 'foreign', 'excellent', 'frequently', 'existence', and 'familiar'. The aim is to help students recognise and memorise the correct spellings of commonly used words in their writing.
