Dictation


Week 4  The bear with a pear tree
A bear decided he wanted a pear.  As the bear was unable to reach the tree’s branches, the strong bear wanted to tear down the pear tree.  This bear was clever and creative.  Instead of tearing down the pear tree, the bear decided it would be better to construct steps.  In this way the bear could select a pear any day he wished.

Week 4- Hares Farewell
Bear was thrilled to be invited to Hare’s farewell party.  Bear’s parents reminded him to beware of the stairs that needed to be repaired to Hare’s house.  Bear was careful as he travelled upstairs.  But when Bear travelled downstairs, he was careless.  Bear tripped on a square step that needed to be repaired.  Bear crashed on his bottom.  Before leaving, bear reminded Hare to get his stair repaired.

Dictation


Week 2- Keep clear
An adult male with a large beard was speeding up the road.  He did grind his gears as he went.  A small boy in the rear of the speeding car was full of fear.  This did not deter the speeding male.  He drove on until he nearly hit a dear old lady.  The small boy exited the car when it stopped.  Then he informed officers on the street to keep clear on this crazy driver.

Week 2- No cheers for the deer
A steer was employed at Cheers Bar.  It was his career to serve beer.  The steer served beer from Italy, France and America.  One day, several deer veered into Cheers Bar.  The deer requested beer from Italy.  The odd steer refused to serve them beer.  The steer was quite odd and queer, to not serve beer to the deer.

Dictation Week 1


Week 1- Lucy’s Scratch
Lucy walked past the hutch and scratched herself on the latch.  Lucy clutched her arm.  Lucy’s arm bled.  Lucy did need to go to hospital and have her arm stitched up.  Once home, Lucy’s mum placed a patch on the scratch.  Luckily, the scratch was not deep and did not need stitches.  Later, the scratch became itchy.  Lucy did rub her scratch to stop it from being itchy.  Cleverly, Lucy did resist scratching it as this would have made it bleed.

Week 1- Rachel’s morning chores
A child named Rachel resided on a farm.  Rachel had daily chores.  Each morning Rachel would chase all of the chickens out of the chicken hutch so that during the day the chickens were free to scratch on the lawn.  Following this, Rachel would fetch eggs from the chickens’ hutch and place them in the kitchen.  Finally, Rachel would switch her chore clothes for her school uniform and race to catch the school bus.
