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.”

Practice Audio: Lit and Q & A

This is a great combination lit and Q & A practice. The dialog (Q & A) part of the dictation is repeated twice in the audio. This practice is great for a moderate-lit workout, and a slow Q & A practice. The Q & A part is especially helpful for students who are also working on punctuation.

Here are some briefs and phrases from the video:

movie= MO*EF
champion= KHAON
season= S-N
cell phone= SLOEN or SFOEN
at the end of= TEFN
upset= SPET
football= FAOBL
baseball= BAIBL
restaurant= STRAUNT
especially= EP
United States= *US
negative= NEF
library= LAOIB
