NAPLAN Reading and Conventions of Language in Year 3 is adaptive, so a student who answers the early questions correctly is routed to harder ones. Speaking & listening questions appear throughout, usually in a worded or diagram-based form that asks the student to choose the right idea before applying it. This page gives that idea a workout on its own so the student can see whether it holds up without the cover of easier questions around it.
Before the quiz, here is what the topic means at this level. Year 3 speaking and listening covers listening to and summarising information, contributing to discussions, giving planned presentations and using tone and volume for effect.
Every question on this page was written to a specific Victorian Curriculum reference for Year 3 and checked by an RHZ tutor before it could be served.
Most errors in speaking and listening are not random. When Year 3 students sit our Skills Check, the same handful of misunderstandings account for the majority of lost marks:
Each of these is fixable in a session or two once it has been named, which is why the results panel below shows the correct answer and an explanation rather than just a score.
Three things a parent or student can do this week:
For Years 3 to 6, pair daily reading with a small amount of writing that gets edited. Grammar sticks when it is used, not when it is drilled.
The 10 questions are drawn from 19 eligible items on speaking and listening in our Year 3 NAPLAN Reading & Language bank, all at the easy and at-level tiers. The selection is fixed for this address so a shared link shows the same quiz; press New set of questions or add ?seed= to the address for a different mix. Options are shuffled, no two questions share a stem, and the answer key is fetched from our server only after you submit, so it is not hidden in the page.
Because every question here is on speaking and listening, a low score is a clear signal and a high score is genuinely reassuring for this topic. What it cannot tell you is whether the other Year 3 NAPLAN Reading & Language topics are equally secure, or how far above the year level the student can go; the free Skills Check covers both.
A one-page summary of speaking and listening at Year 3 level, written by RHZ tutors to the Victorian Curriculum. Read it before the quiz, or print it for revision.
How to revise this: listen to a short podcast or news item together, then give a one-sentence summary and say it twice with different tone and volume.

Yes, completely: no sign-up, no email, no payment, and you can take it as many times as you like. It is one of 3,261 free practice questions RHZ Tutoring publishes across Prep to Year 12. Press New set of questions, or add ?seed= to the address, for a different selection from the same topic.
Because a single-topic set is the most precise free check available: if the score is low, the gap is in speaking and listening and nowhere else. There are 19 eligible questions on this topic in our Year 3 NAPLAN Reading & Language bank, so several different sets are available before any repeat.
From RHZ Tutoring's own Year 3 NAPLAN Reading & Language question bank, written to the Victorian Curriculum, checked by a tutor and passed through an automated quality gate. The same bank feeds our tutoring sessions and the free Skills Check. The questions on this page sit at the easy and at-level tiers.
Read the explanation for each incorrect answer first; most gaps in speaking and listening are one of the misconceptions listed on this page. Then try a second set a few days later. If it is still low, the free Skills Check will show whether the gap is confined to this topic, and a tutor can build a short catch-up plan.
Yes. The Year 3 NAPLAN Reading & Language quiz spreads ten questions across every topic for the year, and the hub lists topic quizzes for every year level from Prep to Year 12.
