About this test
About the English Pronunciation Test for Kids (B2 Upper Intermediate)
Children learn pronunciation fastest by listening and copying. This test uses short A1 sentences with simple words, so young learners can focus on clear sounds instead of difficult vocabulary. The model voice reads every sentence, and the green, amber and red colours make progress easy to see and fun to improve. It works well with a parent or teacher sitting alongside.
Why practise this at B2 level
At B2 listeners expect you to be easy to follow for a long time. These upper intermediate sentences are longer and put similar sounds close together, so you practise accuracy under the same pressure as in an exam or a meeting.
How to get it right
- Listen to each sentence together first
- Let the child tap the microphone and read aloud
- Celebrate every green word
- Tap red words to hear them and try again
