Phonics Check: Dictation Self-Check
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: checking a CVC spelling against each heard phoneme
1
Listen to jam. Tap the sounds before writing it.
2
Check whether your first letter says /j/.
3
Write bed and check its middle vowel.
4
Write fin and check its last sound.
5
Write hot, then reread all four words.
6
Circle one word to explain to an adult sound by sound.
- Dictate one word in a simple sentence, then repeat the word without adding extra sounds.
- Give wait time for tapping before the child writes.
- Use the self-check prompts after the child writes; avoid correcting each letter as it is formed.
