Spelling quiz template

Every word comes in a sentence, so learners know which word is meant, and the wrong options are the misspellings people really write, like "definately" and "recieve". Homophones and a pick-all round where a wrong pick costs a point keep it from being a guessing game.

Questions to consider

  • Which word list is this for: this week's class list, common errors, or exam vocabulary?
  • Do you teach British or American spelling? These words are spelled the same in both, but your own list may not be.
  • Should the homophone questions stay, or does your class need a separate homophone quiz?
  • Would you rather have learners type the word, and mark it by hand, than choose from options?

How to use the responses

Look at which misspelling each learner chose, not only whether they got it wrong. Picking "recieve" shows they need the "except after c" rule, while "accomodate" shows they're missing double letters. Build next week's list from the words most of the class missed, and give individual learners their own few words to practise.

How to customize and share it

  1. 1Replace the words with your own list, writing each in a short sentence and using real misspellings as the wrong options.
  2. 2Keep one point on each correct spelling and move the score bands if you add or remove words.
  3. 3Share the link with your class or set it as homework, then check scores and the most common misspellings in the dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

Why put spelling words in a sentence?

A sentence shows which word is meant, which matters for words that sound alike, like "their" and "they're". Keep the sentence simple so it doesn't become a reading test.

What are the most commonly misspelled words?

Words with double letters or silent letters, like accommodate, necessary, rhythm and February, plus "definitely", "separate" and "receive".

How many words should a spelling quiz have?

Ten to fifteen words is typical for a weekly class test. Fewer works for a quick warm-up.
