Dictation Passage

Read each sentence aloud slowly, twice. Your child should write exactly what they hear.


  • There are two cats sitting on your doorstep.

  • They're waiting for their dinner to arrive.

  • You're going to love the surprise too.

  • The two children put their bags over there.

  • Your friend said you're invited to the party.

  • They're happy that there is enough cake for two.

  • Take your coat, too, because there is a cold wind outside.

  • Answer key

    Teaching tip: After marking, ask your child to explain why each spelling is correct — saying "they're means they are" out loud builds the habit of checking meaning before choosing a homophone.
