Key Stage 3 Spelling

Spelling is important, ladies and gentlemen. You don’t have to be a genius in the spelling department, but competence is key.

In fact, there are a whole bunch of words that KS3 students often misspell. We’re going to help you get ahead of the game with some expertly designed quizzes that tackle those commonly misspelled words. Not only that, all the quizzes have a link at the bottom to the relevant BBC Bitesize page.

And don’t worry, they’re not too difficult. Last time we checked, they didn’t include anything too taxing (you know, like ‘sesquipedalianism’ or ‘Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism’. Both real words, by the way).

Nonetheless they will be a little bit trickier than you’re perhaps used to. It wouldn’t be a challenge if they weren’t! And we all know you Quiz Whizzes love a bit of a challenge...

Whether you’re good at spelling or can never quite remember whether it’s ‘amphibian’ or ‘amphibien’, our quizzes will help you to recognise correct spellings from incorrect ones. We think it’s a great way to learn, as you’ll get to see the words on the page (well, screen) and become familiar with how they look. This will be super helpful when you’re writing in class - you’ll write a word, only to realise it just doesn’t ‘look’ right. Then you can go ahead and adapt it until you think “Yep, that’s it!”. Sorted!

You can take your time with our spelling quizzes and really get to grips with each one. There’s no rush. You’re welcome to take the quizzes as many times as you like. Why not try doing one or two quizzes a day, to help you master those really tricky spellings? And it’s always a good idea to go over old spellings to check you still know them...

Our quizzes are fast, fun and put your understanding as their number one priority.

Thinking caps on, kids. We’ve got some spellings to learn!
