PLICKERS
• Do a quick, 3-5 question quiz to see if students understood the key concepts in a Reading
• Students love using Plickers cards and they rarely think of it as Assessment
• Only the teacher needs the app (iOS or Android) • Great for all levels and classes and classes that are
tech-resistant
PLICKERS
• Only A, B, C, D and True/False Options • Extremely playful and low-stakes, but still gradable and
useful for gathering data on student understanding • Can laminate, print on card stock, or past into their
textbooks
