Quizlet can Supercharge Your Teaching!
Quizlet reads the word and definition to the student out loud, enhancing students' grasp of pronunciation.
Quizlet provides targeted spelling feedback. In the “Speller” studying mode, students hear the target word spoken out loud and see a written definition on the screen. Their task is to type the target word using its correct spelling. If they make mistakes, Quizlet visually corrects the error, re-reads the word, and reads the spelling one letter at a time.
Quizlet provides adaptive training to help students focus on the items most difficult for them. In the “Learn” mode, Quizlet tests students one item at a time. The items a student performs more poorly on are brought back for further review to help students focus their efforts on items which they have not yet learned or which are more difficult to remember.
Quizlet generates customized, randomized tests for your students to test to boost their long-term memory.
Quizlet can generate tests involving written, matching, multiple choice, or true/falsequestions, orany combination thereof. The tests may be taken on a computer or smartphone and automatically graded, or they may be printed out and distributed in class.
Quizlet can be used at home or on the go.
