Phonic Dictation

Applying Phonic Knowledge to Extended Writing Tasks

By completing regular dictation tasks, students rehearse and reinforce their phonics and spelling knowledge in increasingly complex contexts, improving their ability to transfer skills to self-generated writing.
Dictation sessions are quick to prepare yet deliver significant benefits across key literacy areas, including:

• Listening and auditory memory

• Handwriting and language development

• Spelling application

Program Includes:

• A4, spiral-bound book.

• Age-appropriate passages for older students operating at a Junior Primary level.

• Three levels of phonic passages: full-length passage format, ideal for Tier 1 students, and two shortened versions with reduced word counts for students requiring modifications.

• Phonic concepts: /sh/ /ch/ /th/ /oo/ /ee/ /ck/ /ar/ /or/ /ay/ /ai/ /oy/ /oi/ /er/ /ing/.
