One a week dictation Overview

This FREE resource details the topics covered by the one a week dictations from year 7 through to 11. The dictation files are available for purchase on my TES shop.

A time-saving resource of one a week dictation (40+ weeks, for each year group). The KS3 dictations (yr 7-9) cover a variety of topics to ready them for the new GCSE and include gap fills and comprehension activities. For each week you will find the English version of the text (which is the same for this resource in French, German and Spanish making it simple for multilingual departments), the target language version of the text and gap fills and comprehension activities.

Year 10 dictations contain a variety of activities including comprehension questions, gap fills, ‘find the foreign language for’ and ‘true, false or not in the text’ activities.

Year 11 dictations are tiered and can be used for read aloud and translation activities.

The texts are suitable to support students to get ready for the new GCSE and can additionally be used for read aloud tasks, comprehension tasks and translation too. The texts have been designed with many years of teaching experience in mind and a strong understanding of the demands of the new GCSE, providing stretch and challenge but also scaffolding to support all learners. These resources have been proofread by two native speakers to ensure accuracy and the best quality.
