Practive Video: Baseball ABC
This is great moderate lit practice. It is also great for people just starting speed. It incorporates writing letters of the alphabet along with a quick, elementary story about baseball…Fun writing with a bit of a challenge for people at a moderate speed level.
Here are some briefs from the video:
baseball= BAIBL
diamond= DAOIMD
on the ground= OG
cannot= KWOT
at all= TA*UL
must be= MUB
error= ROR
This dictation also contains a good word boundary test for your dictionary. When the story gets to the letter, “u,” and says “for umpire,” you should check to see if a conflict exists in your dictionary.
For me, I had to d-define, “for umpire” because it translated as “forum PAOEUR.”
