Words Containing 'ui', 'ue' or 'ua' Quiz
English Resource Description
The Y6 Spelling Quiz is an engaging and concise activity designed to help Year 6 students consolidate their understanding of statutory spelling words and patterns, particularly those containing the letter combinations 'ui', 'ue', or 'ua'. The quiz, which can be completed in a brief 5 to 10 minutes, requires no additional equipment, making it an ideal classroom activity to reinforce learning either in the same week as the initial teaching or later on to aid long-term retention.
Each quiz question presents a sentence with a missing word, prompting students to select the correct spelling from a list of options. For instance, students are asked to find the correct spelling of a word that fits in the sentence "Granny is looking for her seed _______ so that she can complete her order," with the choices being 'caterlog', 'catalogue', 'catalogg', and 'caterlogge'. Other sentences require students to choose the correct spellings for words like 'disguise', 'language', 'pursuit', 'guidance', 'biscuit', 'guess', 'juice', 'guard', and 'dialogue'. This quiz is not only a fun challenge but also a practical tool for teachers to assess their students' spelling proficiency and to help students develop confidence in their writing skills.
