SPaG – DictationLO: write sentences that are dictated including spelling rules and punctuation

One of the objectives for all children in KS2 is to be able to listen to a dictation and write down what is said, making sure they include accurate punctuation and spellings.

We will start with three short sentences which include words from this week’s spelling lists.

Listen to the video and write down what you hear. I will repeat each sentence twice, but you can always pause and rewind if you need to.
