Running dictation house & home

Can be used with any class, my year 7 class (6th Grade) loved it. There is a higher ability power point that I used with year 9 (8th Grade). Print out A3 copies of the text and place outside the room. Use rules slide to explain expectations of the group. I have attached a timer to keep the pace of the task and to allow students to keep track of time. Afterwards, you can use a mark scheme to check the sentences. I have also included a follow on text so that pupils can understand what they have been reading. On the higher power point there is a writing mat which can be used as an extension task.
