Ask students to point to the word they wrote and repeat it’s sound. Once students have written the word, I write it on the board. *I always ask my students to say the sound as they form the letter. Students write “bat” in their dictation notebooks. Students: “/bat/” /b/ /a/ /t/ (segmenting each sound) If they can encode nonsense words, then know they understand the pattern. I also like to throw in a few nonsense words. In fact, you should ALWAYS spiral review! It is also okay to add in review patterns. When choosing words for dictation, it is important to be sure that the words you are choosing also follow the phonics patterns that you are teaching. Ask students to point to the sound they wrote and repeat it’s sound. Once students have written their letter/sound, Write it on the board. Students write “b” in their dictation notebooks. Sound dictation is simply having students write the sounds they hear. When we ask students to dictate a sound, word, or sentence, we are actually asking them to listen orally and then translate it back to us in written code. I consider dictation to work in different ways. How do you use it effectively in your reading groups?ĭictation is the action of saying words aloud, that can be typed or written down. We began implementing dictation into our daily lessons and WOW, that was definitely the missing piece!
We connected letter sounds with writing in kindergarten, why didn’t we connect our phonics skills in grades 1-2? I was so frustrated with myself, for not catching it. Therefore, the students did not see the connection either. We were sorting words, we were playing games, we were segmenting phonemes, but we weren’t actually attaching it to writing. We were not actually applying it to writing. Our students were not applying their phonics knowledge into their writing.When I really started to dissect everything and try to figure out why, I realized something. In our K-2 classrooms, the small group focus was on phonics and phonemic awareness! WAHHOOOO! I was so happy!īUT.after working through the plan for a year, I realized something huge was missing. A couple years ago, our school district adopted a new literacy plan.
