It focuses on handwriting, letter formation and correct pencil grip and posture. Speech pathologists, occupational therapists and teachers collaborated in the development of this valuable resource. A short and simple-to-administer placement test can be used to identify at which dictation passage each pupil in your class should start. Pupils complete ve tasks for each phonic dictation passage in the book.

Task 2 Reading practice Pupils read the title and the story. Task 1  Erroridenticationandcorrection There are 10 errors in spelling and punctuation for pupils to identify and correct in the spaces provided on the page. Task 3 Copying and handwriting Pupils copy the story they have read, focusing on correct posture, pencil grip and letter formation. There are templates on pages 144 and 145 that can be used for this task. Task 4 Dictation The story is dictated. Pupils need to listen carefully and remember the spelling, punctuation and writing practised when completing Tasks 1–4. There are templates on pages 146 and 147 that can be used for dictation.

Have you noticed how pupils often write words correctly in spelling tests but struggle when applying their new knowledge to written work? Do you wonder why this happens? As a general rule, pupils require many opportunities to rehearse their skills in contexts of increasing complexity. This means if classroom teachers focus on spelling primarily at a single-word level, the transfer to everyday usage will never be guaranteed. A handy tool for teachers and parents Dictation tasks require minimal preparation, but hold the potential of producing signicant gains in pupil performance. Dictation improves the following skills: • listening • auditory memory • handwriting • language • spelling. Crowd control is essential! First and foremost, dictation requires pupils’ attention. Teachers are required to impose ‘crowd control’ discipline measures in their classes and remind their pupils what constitutes ‘good’ listening behaviour. Dictation tips 1. Before pupils commence a dictation task—i.e. transcribe what they hear—it’s recommended they are exposed to the passage beforehand. It’s helpful if pupils are able to process its meaning before writing out its parts. 2. When presenting dictation tasks, consider the length of each section verbalised and the number of times the section is repeated before (or while) the pupils transcribe. The shorter the section, the less challenging the dictation task. 3. Repetition of the dictated sections will reduce the memory requirement and make the task less challenging. It is recommended that, over time, the length of each section is gradually extended and the amount of repetition is gradually reduced. This helps pupils apply greater levels of auditory processing and memory. Dictation aids The dictation range focuses on a variety of spelling and phonics concepts. As pupils complete the dictation tasks, they are faced with the challenge of applying their recently acquired spelling concepts to the rewriting of passages. This should improve their ability to transfer spelling concepts to their own writing. Dictationproducessignicantgains When presented on a regular basis, dictation tasks hold the potential to produce signicant gains in a range of areas. Importantly, dictation assists in the translation of spelling list words to pupils’ self-generated writing.

I will put each word into a sentence so you understand what each means, but I only want you to write the word and not the whole sentence’.
