Study guide — quiz 3

Grade 1 · Writing · 16 words · the quiz is after lesson 38
For the grown-up at home. This is a short vocabulary quiz. Your child does not need to write anything tonight if they are tired — five minutes of talking is enough, and talking is better than copying. You do not need to read English well to help: ask your child to tell YOU what each word means, in any language. If they can explain it, they know it.

Three things to do, five minutes

  1. Cover and say. Cover the right-hand side. Your child says what each word means.
  2. Use it. Pick three words. Your child says a whole sentence with each one — out loud, not written.
  3. Find the hard one. Ask which word is hardest. Do that one twice more. That is the whole homework.
What is on the quiz. Matching each word to what it means · putting the right word in a gap · writing 2 sentences of their own. There is also one bonus word we have NOT taught — it does not count toward the score, so nobody should worry about it.
