This article shows you the different types of spelling tests that you can build with FlexiQuiz.

Listening

Students listen to the word that is spoken, and then type out how they think it should be spelt.

Listening questions not only test a learner's spelling ability but can also improve their listening and aural skills.

You can create a listening test in minutes using the FlexiQuiz fill-in-the-blanks or matching text question types.

Record the words or sentences that you'd like to test in a audio or video file format and upload them to the FlexiQuiz system.

Take this listening spelling test and see how many words you can correctly spell in less than one minute.

Multiple choice

Student's pick the word that is spelt correctly from a list of options. For example:

• Students pick the correct answer from two words that are pronounced in the same way but have a different spelling and meaning.
• Students are shown several options, and they need to choose the correct (or incorrect) spelling based on a paragraph, statement, or image.

It's often said that choosing the correct word tests help with reading more than spelling. Students are able to get the answer right by recognizing the correct word instead of using memory recall to write the word from scratch.

The most popular way to create this question is by using the multiple-choice format with a single answer option.

Fill-in-the-blanks

Students type their answer, such as a letter, word, or phrase into a box.

You can create questions with single or multiple spaces for answers to be added.

In addition to helping with spelling, fill-in-the-blanks also tests that the words make sense grammatically.

Top tip! Enterprise members can contact us for CSS code that enables you to change the answer box size.

Printable spelling templates

Students write down the words on paper

You can easily create a spelling test template using the matching text question type to print out and share with students.

Printable spelling tests are traditionally a popular choice for teaching in the classroom. However, printable tests also work well for teaching and testing remotely. For example, a teachers users zoom video classes, the teacher speaks the words, and the students write down their responses. The student's responses can be uploaded to FlexiQuiz for the teacher to easily download and mark.
