Found this very useful website lately, which I am using at the moment to encourage my students to read the text for meaning.
The first quizz we all completed was very well received as you can see below.
It is bright, engaging and easy for both teachers and student to use. It can be used on any platform. We used a mixture of devices (iPads, laptops and desktops).

What I am sold on is not only the flexibility of use, but there is an "under 16 student" sign on which switched off the public sharing options. This potentially provides another great way for the students to demonstrate their depth of knowledge, in a fun way which gives them the chance to take the lead.
There is a comprehensive User Guide as a pdf on their blog and an FAQ section on the site which is excellent at answering most questions regarding creating a Kahoot, playing the Kahoot, collecting/reviewing data and how it can be used in the classroom.
The data shows who came first, based on correct answers and how long it took them to answer them (you set time limits). How each of the questions were answered which can highlight any misconceptions.

I have started by integrating this into my Shared Reading programme with a formative quizz and discussions with a video to stimulate the students thinking before we read the text and then a summative quizz to monitor effectiveness.
Bottom line: my students loved it and they got really excited at the prospect of being able to create their own quizz.
