Turn your ELA notes or novel into a quiz
ELA class moves between literature, grammar, and writing in the same week, and a generic quiz bank rarely matches the exact novel, poem, or grammar point you're teaching. Building the quiz from your own material keeps it accurate, in seconds.
Why it should come from your material
Your exact novel or passage
A generic comprehension bank can't ask about the specific chapter of the novel your class is reading. Paste the excerpt and the quiz checks plot, character, and theme from that exact text.
Grammar and writing mechanics, on demand
Parts of speech, sentence structure, literary devices — paste your notes on the point you taught and get a focused check using your own examples, not unrelated ones.
Recall and analysis
Set difficulty for straightforward comprehension or for questions that check literary analysis — theme, tone, author's purpose — so the check matches your lesson's depth.
How to make one in about a minute
- 1. Add your excerpt or notes
Paste a novel excerpt, poem, or grammar notes — or upload a text-based PDF or Word file.
- 2. Set the level and length
Choose difficulty and how many questions so it fits a quick check or a full unit test.
- 3. Generate and review
You get a quiz drawn from your material in about 10 seconds. Edit any question before class.
- 4. Share one link
Students join by link or code on any device — no accounts. Results show which concepts need review.

Make an ELA quiz from your notesFrequently asked questions
Is this for native-English classes or English learners?
This page is for English Language Arts — literature, reading, writing, and grammar for native or fluent English speakers. If you teach English as a second or foreign language, see our ESL quiz maker instead, which is built for that audience.
How do I make an ELA quiz from a novel or short story?
Paste the excerpt or upload a text-based PDF or Word file — a chapter, short story, or poem — and LessonCue builds a comprehension and analysis quiz drawn from it in about 10 seconds.
Is it free?
Yes. The free plan lets you build ELA quizzes from your own material with no credit card. Pro (priced for your region, from $3.90/mo) removes the limit and adds follow-up quizzes.
Can it check grammar and writing mechanics, not just reading comprehension?
Yes. Paste notes or a handout on the grammar or writing point you taught — parts of speech, sentence structure, literary devices — and the quiz checks that specific point using your own examples.
Do students need accounts?
No. Students join with one link or a 6-digit code from any device — no accounts, no app. You see which concepts the class missed so you know what to reteach.
