Dictation for Friday (Revise ‘o’ family):
Frank is cross. The crab runs across the sand to his camp. Stop the crab. Frank gets up from the bank and runs to the spot.
Teaching tips:
· Help with the consonant blends if needed, but they should be easier now than they were when studied for Level 1, but expect to help especially with the hearing of the 'n' in 'nk' and the 'l' in spilt.
· Talk about across.
· Crisp causes problems with its initial and final blends. Help the pupil to hear the final blend and expect crips, especially when making plural; crisps.
· Discuss meanings of words.
· Identify the nouns and verbs. This may mean some discussion. For example sink can be a noun, or a verb: “Will the ship sink?” Or the word trip can mean the name of a type of outing, or a verb meaning ‘to trip’ as in to trip over. Never presume that a child knows such things and even if the child does know, having to use the word him/herself in writing is another matter. Strange things can happen!
