Dictation can be a great way to help students learn to spell. Having the student dictate the spelling of words can ensure that the student is practicing their spelling correctly.
Here are a few tips for using dictation in spelling instruction:
- Make a list of the words that you want the student to spell. This will help you avoid having to continuously prompt the student.
- Make sure that the student is comfortable dictating. If they are not comfortable dictating, they may not be able to focus on their spelling.
- Be sure to have a dictionary available to the student. If the student is not comfortable using a dictionary, they may not be able to spell the words correctly.
- Have the student practice dictating the words several times. This will help them to become more comfortable with spelling them.
