Review a lesson with a short quiz built from the lesson itself
Science: study the water cycle notesQuiz Thursday!
“Study your science notes for Thursday’s quiz.” Take a photo of the lesson sheet or study guide, and Kamelo writes three to five questions from it. You read them first, then your child answers, and each answer points back to the sentence in the lesson.
From the photo to the practice
-
Take a photo of the lesson
The lesson sheet, the study guide or the notes page. If the planner only says “study your notes,” Kamelo asks you for a photo of the notes themselves.
-
Review the questions
About thirty seconds later, Kamelo shows three to five questions, each with the sentence it comes from, labeled as written by AI. Keep, edit or remove any of them before your child sees them.
-
Hand over the phone
The quiz joins today’s homework, and Kamelo turns green for lessons.
During the session
- Questions from the lesson, and nothing else
- Multiple choice, true or false, or a missing word to fill in, all built from sentences in the lesson you photographed.
- The answer points back to the lesson
- After each answer, Kamelo highlights the sentence in the lesson that holds it. Your child learns where to look, as well as what to say.
- Missed questions come back
- A question your child misses is an “almost,” shown without any red. It comes back later in the same session.
- Drills, when the lesson has them
- If the lesson includes something to drill, like a table of addition facts, Kamelo can turn that part into practice too.
How to help your child study for a quiz
-
Ask questions instead of rereading
Rereading notes feels productive but proves little. Asking questions and checking the answers in the notes is one of the study recommendations from the U.S. Department of Education’s research arm.
-
Start a few days early
Two or three short sessions before the quiz do more than one long session the night before. Spacing practice out is another of those recommendations.
-
Let your child teach you
Ask your child to explain the lesson in their own words. The parts they can’t explain yet are the parts to go over.
-
Start from the lesson’s own words
Key words, bold terms and diagrams on the sheet are usually what the teacher wants remembered, so build your questions around them.
-
Keep the night before short
A quick review the evening before is enough. Sleep matters too: the CDC recommends 9 to 12 hours a day for children aged 6 to 12.
