do your students look like this?
If you answered yes, we will be using interactive
program today that your students just might beg you to

know they are learning.

3. What is this program?
• The program’s name is Quizlet.

Quizlet website.

4. Use
Uses:

Familiarize/Study Key Terms
Practice Spelling & Listening Skills
Track student progress if they create an account
(Students must have an email address that they can access to verify account)
Create short, printable vocabulary quizzes
Hold team vocabulary competitions using IWB

5. Familiarize
• Once cards are created, students are ready to GO
forward and start practicing their new words.
• You can choose to have the students either look at
the word, definition or both. It is at this stage that
they are familiarizing themselves with their new
words.

6. Speller
Speller allows your student to practice spelling
key vocabulary words by listening to the word
being pronounced.
Now you can tell your students….
YES! Spelling Counts!!!!

7. Learn
• This feature allows students to test their skills
as they type the correct word for the listed
definition
• The students record is listed in the upper left
hand corner of the screen. It highlights:
• how many words remain
• how many words are incorrect
• how many words are correct.

8. Learn
• Learn keeps track of what terms students had
difficulty with and will re-quiz the students
until they have gotten all terms correct.
*much of Quizlet has been updated with an
auditory feature that allows words/definitions to
be read out loud to the student

9. Test
• This feature allows for students to quiz
themselves to see just how well they have
been studying
• It also allows you to print the test for a “quick”
mini-quiz that you can print out for a Do Now
or Exit assessment

10. Scatter
• Scatter is a nice way for students to play a
game that reinforces vocab skills
• Students can work individually or in a group to
drag the words to the matching definition

11. Monitor Progress

12. Space Race
• The definitions fly across the screen.
• Students must type the correct word in the box at the
bottom of the screen.
• If incorrect or not fast enough, the game pauses, word
& definition appear to reinforce the term and the
student is prompted to copy the correct word. Once
this step is completed the game resumes.
