What a good KS2 vocabulary quiz checks

A good KS2 vocabulary quiz checks whether children can use a word in context, not just recognise its spelling.

Use sentence context so children work out meanings from clues.
Mix question types to test recognition and explanation.
Revisit the same words after a few days to check they have stuck.
Keep each quiz to a manageable set of words for one sitting.

Questions built from your text

Upload the reading passage or word list you already use and the quiz draws its questions from that material.

Explanations for every answer

Each multiple-choice, true or false, or open question includes a short explanation, so children learn why an answer is right.

Quizzes you can export

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to PDF or DOCX on Plus so you can print or share with your class.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slides, a Word file, plain notes or a photo of a page from your reading book.

Choose the question type

Pick multiple choice, true or false, or open questions, depending on how much support your pupils need.

Study or export

Work through the quiz in the browser, or export it as a PDF or DOCX to use in lessons and at home.

Multiple-choice questions with a sentence around the target word make pupils use clues from the text. True or false statements help expose common confusions, such as a synonym that does not fit the sentence. Open questions give teachers a chance to see whether a child can explain a meaning in their own words.

Because the quiz comes from the texts pupils are reading, the words are the ones that matter for that week, rather than a generic list.

Frequently asked questions

How many vocabulary words should a KS2 quiz cover?

Around 10 to 15 words is a manageable set for one sitting. Repeating the same words in a second quiz a few days later shows whether they have been remembered.

What kinds of vocabulary questions work well for KS2 pupils?

Multiple-choice questions with a sentence around the word work well because children must use clues to pick the meaning. True or false statements help catch common confusions, such as synonyms that do not fit.
