Do you remember taking annual spelling tests back in grade school? Usually your teacher would hand out a list of words to memorize on Monday and by Friday you’d have to be familiar enough with them to pass a quiz. Every grade had its own set of words that you’d learn, which got progressively harder as you built up a vocabulary. Looking back on it, all those tests were a big part of our formative years and who knows how many words you ended up learning because of them.
How do you think you would fare if you were to take a third grade spelling test right now? Would you pass or fail?! By the time you were in third grade you were probably around 8 or 9 years old. The average third grade student begins to learn all sorts of new stuff like multiplication and division, basic science, and American history. They also start reading harder, more advanced books across different genres, so they’re constantly being exposed to new words.
Some of the new terms they are learning may look familiar, but are totally different from what they’ve already been exposed to. That’s because many words sound exactly alike, yet their meanings and spellings are either completely different or slightly off by just a letter or two. That makes them really easy to mess up or confuse!
Even though we slowly forget lots of that we’ve learned over time, things like spelling and grammar tend to stick with us. Unless of course you’re a terrible speller and always have been! See where your spelling skills fall and work your way through these 23 questions which cover a variety of words that the average pupil learns in third grade. According to the makers of the quiz, Playbuzz, only about 4% of the population are able to score a perfect 23/23 on this spelling test. Even if you can’t ace it, all that you really need to get is at least 17/23 right in order to pass, so try it now to see if you are as smart as a 3rd grader, and good luck!
