For our thirty-first (and final!) dictée, we are focusing on words with the sounds ail/aille and eil/eille. The following 20 terms are the vocabulary for this week's dictée. Throughout the week, students are to practice reading and writing the words and the sentence, and also understanding what they mean.
We will also have TWO silly sentences and TWO bonus sentences. (The bonus sentences are never counted toward their grade if there are errors.)
The test will be Friday, June 24. For the test, students are expected to use correct letter size, spacing, accents, spelling, and punctuation.
l'ail (garlic)
un chandail (a sweater)
un détail (a detail)
un caillou (a pebble)
un maillot (a jersey)
une paille (a straw)
une médaille (a medal)

Versailles (Versailles)
travailler (to work)

une bouteille (a bottle)
un orteil (a toe)
