Five Quick Quiz Ideas (5–10 minutes each)

1. Dictation Quick Quiz

   • Say 10 words aloud (choose a mix of easy and harder words). Students write each word. Score: 1 point per correct spelling.

2. Multiple-Choice Spelling

   • Provide 8 words with two incorrect spellings each. Student circles the correct version. Good for identifying common errors.

3. Fill-the-Blank Sentences

   • Give 6 short sentences with a blank; students fill in the correct word from a word bank (6–8 choices).

4. Speed Write (Timed 2 minutes)

   • Students write as many words from List 26 as they can from memory. Reward progress over perfection.

5. Matching Definition Quiz

   • Provide 8 simple definitions or short clues; students match them to the correct word from the list.

Scoring and Feedback

• Use simple percentage scoring (correct ÷ total).
• For errors, note patterns (missing letters, phonics mistakes).
• Create two quick follow-ups: a 5-word focused mini-sheet with the most-missed words and a short phonics drill (e.g., vowel teams, consonant blends).

Tips for Engagement

• Add a sticker chart for weekly progress.
• Turn the scrambles or speed write into a friendly class competition.
• Use drawings or simple partners’ quizzes to vary practice modes.
