Graded Dictations

Hi,

I've been searching for sites that offer graded dictations to add
the "Word Surfing" site.(see link below)

Students of all languages would benefit greatly, I'm sure, from the
availability of a service that allowed them to ....

1. listen to individual sentences being clearly read.
2. replay each sentence as often as required - and
3. "reveal" correct sentences once an attempt had been made to write
down what had been heard.

Such a site would only help students to practice vital listening and
writing skills in a useful manner. It would also allow them to
correct their own mistakes in a comfortable environment - and
encourage them to expand their vocabulary knowledge.

Personally - (and I'm sure I'm not alone) - I'd jump at the
opportunity to use internet based dictations to help me with both
Spanish and Italian - so if anyone can point me in the right
direction ... I'd be hugely grateful.

Finally, if you are interested in becoming involved in making such a
service available please reply and join others who are beginning to
offer their help in English and other languages.

Best Wishes

Will
