These types of quizzes can be done orally or by hand. Distribute a list of words with stresses in them, such as "abbreviate," "simile," "philosophy" and so forth. Have students clearly indicate where the stress goes on the paper, or have them recite the words to you and check that they are using the proper stress. Have students keep a personal record of which words they have mastered and which ones they still need to work on.
Play a recording of a story or a poem, and give a copy of the words to the student. Have the student read the words, while trying to stay at the same speed and rhythm as the recording. In the second or third round of this activity, turn the sound all the way down on the recording as the student keeps reading. When the volume is turned back up, see if the student is still in time with the recording.
Stand at the front of the room where everyone can see you. Mouth a word, phrase or sentence to the students. They will have to try to guess what you are saying, even though there is no volume. This activity will make them aware of the proper mouth positions for different sounds and words. Pair students up to engage in this activity, and have students compete to see which team is the best at guessing each other's words.
Turn all of the cards face down, as in a traditional memory game. Students must flip over the cards, and the object is to find words that have the same syllable stressed. For example, if they flip over a card that has a stress on the second syllable, they want to find another one that also has a stress on the second syllable. Ask the students to say the words as they flip them over.
