Making a vocabulary quiz from your child's own words

Most ready-made worksheets use word lists that do not match what your class read this week, so a vocabulary quiz for kids PDF made from your own material fits better. Upload the list or reading passage, and DeckOwl writes questions that use those exact words.

Example vocabulary words for kids quiz questions

Which word means very large: enormous, fragile, or gentle?Enormous. Fragile means easily broken and gentle means soft or kind, so neither means very large.

True or false: benevolent means unkind.False. Benevolent means kind and generous, which is the opposite of unkind.

What is the root word in unhappy?Happy. The prefix un- means not, so unhappy means not happy.

Which word best completes the sentence: The hikers were ___ after climbing all day? (exhausted, delighted, curious)Exhausted. After hours of climbing, tiredness is the logical meaning, and the other two words do not fit.

What is a synonym for rapid?Fast. Rapid and fast both describe quick speed, while slow is an antonym, not a synonym.
