Turn your English class notes into quizzes for students
Upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX file or photos of pages. DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation of the correct answer.
Why students use English quizzes made from their own reading
Reading a novel or a grammar chapter is different from proving you remember it, and English quizzes for students close that gap by testing vocabulary, grammar and comprehension straight from the text you were assigned.
- Test vocabulary in context rather than isolated word lists.
- Practice verb tense, agreement and punctuation with targeted questions.
- Check reading comprehension after each chapter or article.
- Use short answer questions to practice explaining ideas in your own words.
Mixed question types
Each quiz can combine multiple-choice, true/false and open questions so you practice recognizing and writing answers.
Built from your own material
Quizzes come from the reading, vocabulary list or lecture slides you already have, not from generic word lists.
Explanations for every answer
Each question shows why the correct option is right, which helps most when two English answers look similar.
