Each quiz board shows a question and a few answer choices. The student picks one, the board shows the right answer, and the attempt is recorded. Right or wrong, the game moves on, so it rewards having a go while the data records whether the answer was correct.
Quizzes suit receptive targets: answering WH questions, choosing the meaning of an idiom, picking the inference a text supports, following written directions. Read the question aloud for students who are not yet reading, and put the board on a shared screen for a group.
