Before the quiz, here is what the topic means at this level. Prep speaking and listening covers following instructions, listening to stories, taking turns in conversation, speaking clearly in a small group and using new vocabulary from stories and topics.
Every question on this page was written to a specific Victorian Curriculum reference for Prep and checked by an RHZ tutor before it could be served.
Most errors in speaking and listening are not random. When Prep students sit our Skills Check, the same handful of misunderstandings account for the majority of lost marks:
Spotting which one applies is the useful part; the fix is usually quick once the misunderstanding is out in the open.
Three things a parent or student can do this week:
For Prep to Year 2, the single most powerful habit is a daily shared book. Point to words, talk about sounds and let your child retell the story.
We keep 13 speaking and listening questions for Prep that meet our standard, at the easy and at-level tiers, and this page serves 10 of them at a time. The default set is stable, so a teacher or parent can share the link; a fresh set is one click away. Marking happens on our server so the answer key cannot be read from 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 Prep English 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 Prep level, written by RHZ tutors to the Victorian Curriculum. Read it before the quiz, or print it for revision.
How to revise this: play a daily game of Simon Says with one-step instructions, then swap roles so your child gives the instructions clearly.

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 13 eligible questions on this topic in our Prep English bank, so several different sets are available before any repeat.
From RHZ Tutoring's own Prep English 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.
