Language Arts Quizzes

March 20th, 2019

 

It’s Wednesday, March 20, 2019, and time for Language Arts at ClickSchooling!

 

Recommended Website:

Quiz Tree

(www.quiz-tree.com/)

Age Range: All (All grades; children with parental supervision)

 

This ad-supported website offers animated, interactive educational quizzes on a variety of subjects including Spelling, Reading, and lots more.

Students of all ages can use the quizzes to test their knowledge, prepare for an exam, or learn something new. For example, children in grades K-3 (who are just learning to read) can try the Dolch sight words. Spelling Bee hopefuls can try mastering the lists of misspelled words. Older students can prepare for the SAT and GRE.

When you get to the site, scroll down to see the menu. It may seem sparse, but each line in that menu opens to a new page with numerous quizzes. You can even access the quizzes by grade level. Some of the other Language Arts topics are: 

  • Commonly Confused Words
  • American Idioms
  • Advanced Vocabulary
  • ESL Grammar

These quizzes (games) are fun, eye-pleasing, and include sound effects (so turn on your speakers). Some are drag-and-drop, and some are multiple-choice. Sometimes hints are available but may cost you points. Some quizzes are timed. If you get an answer wrong, one of a set of disappointed tones will sound and you will get another chance. A different set of sounds applaud your successes. At the end of the quiz, your score will be displayed and you will be given a chance to try the quiz again.
