Quizizz is so much more than just a quiz tool; it's a way to turn assessments into something that your students will be excited to do. Instead of the usual paper and pen tests that we've all taken that feel so stressful and so boring, Quizizz has many fun game like features including leader boards, avatars, memes, music and immediate feedback. All these elements help to create an environment for students to feel like they're "playing" while they're learning. Teachers can easily develop their own quizzes or browse through hundreds of already developed resources that cover reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar and even higher level thinking. And, since students can use their phone, tablet or laptop (both in-class or at home) this is a great resource for both face-to-face and online classrooms.

The real innovation with Quizizz in terms of literacy education is the change in how quizzes are utilized. Where before quizzes were only used to assess students'

knowledge after a lesson, now they are a part of the lesson itself. Immediately after a student answers a question they will see if they answered correctly and may be provided with explanations. The instant feedback provides the opportunity for students to understand their errors immediately, creating a more meaningful experience and a less intimidating one. Teachers also receive detailed reports showing students what they are doing well and where they need additional support. Therefore, teachers can adjust their instruction accordingly to provide the necessary support.

Quizizz also lends itself to developing deeper literacy skills, teachers can include short reading passages, images or audio files when developing questions. For example, students may analyze the author's tone, determine the main idea of a passage, or make inferences instead of simply recalling facts. Additionally, because the environment is competitive but low pressure, even the shyest students are encouraged to take part in class.

In conclusion, Quizizz is unique in that it

creates a collaborative, supportive and engaging learning environment for students to practice literacy skills and build confidence.
