Today I am practising: connecting oral dictation to an available written model
1
An adult reads: I see a pig. Say the sentence back.
2
Choose or write I, see, a, pig in order.
3
Check the order against the model.
4
Copy I see a pig.
5
Circle the word you heard first.
6
Ask an adult to read the copied sentence back to you.
- Read the sentence once at a normal pace, then let the child repeat it before seeing the model.
- Give word cards or allow dictated word order when spelling is not the goal.
- Reveal the model for checking before copying so this remains a supported copywork routine, not a test.
