So he sits all day long hid in a tree, or in a hole of a wall, out of sight. As soon as it is night he comes out, and flies round and round, in search of mice, or small birds. When he flies, his wings do not make a noise. So the mice and birds do not hear him till he is quite near. The birds know him well, and are in great fear of him. When they find him out by day, they come and peck at him with all their might. He is then half blind, and he does not see how to fight with them. Look how they peck at him! Poor owl! fly back to your hole as fast as you can.

THE owl is called the "bird of night."
The light of day is too strong and too bright for his eyes.
So he sits <em>(you say 'thits')</em> all day long hid <em>(should be hidden or hiding)</em> in a tree, or in a hole of in a wall, out <em>(yours sounds like ow)</em> of sight.
As soon as it is <em>(say these distinctly and separately)</em> night he comes out, and flies round and round, in search of <em>mice,</em> <em>(you seem to say mite/might)</em> or small birds.
When he flies, his wings <em>do</em> <em>(you say does)</em> not make a noise. So the mice and birds <em>do</em> <em>(you say does)</em> not hear him till he is quite near.
The birds know him well, and are in great fear of him. OK
When they find him out by day, they come and peck at him with all their might.  OK
He is then half blind, and he does not see how to fight with them. Look how they peck at him! OK
Poor owl! fly back to your hole as fast as you can.

 

<em>Your final 't' is often missing out.  as is the final 'L' as in 'owl'</em>

<em>You seem to have difficulty with double-consonants such as 'fl', 'bl' </em>
