Level 1. Reading. Totally True 1. Mixed dictation exercises

These are short dictation activities that you may want to use to change the pace of a class, support lower level students or to introduce variety.

There are four activities:
1. A basic dictation activity taken from the back of Totally True 1
2. Fill in the gaps - key vocabulary
3. Fill in the gaps - articles, prepositions, connectors, unstressed syllables etc
4. Find the mistakes

These are based on the dictation activities, but the same principle can be applied to the main reading section at the start of each unit.

You may want to ask your students, individually or in pairs, to attempt to fill in spaces or guess the mistakes before the listening.
