Foreword
Phonic dictation is a series of four books designed to develop pupils ability to transfer phonic and spelling skills to extended reading and to writing tasks. It focuses on handwriting, letter formation and correct pencil grip and posture. Speech pathologists, occupational therapists and teachers collaborated in the development of this valuable resource. A short and simple-to-administer placement test can be used to identify at which dictation passage each pupil in your class should start. Pupils complete five tasks for each phonic dictation passage in the book.

There are 10 errors in spelling and punctuation for pupils to identify and correct in the spaces provided on the page.
Task 4
Copying and handwriting
There are templates on pages 144 and 145 that can be used for this task.
Template for task 5: Copyin g and writing Line width and spacing

Teachers notes A note from the author

What happens when correct spelling of test words does not transfer to writing?
Have you noticed how pupils often write words correctly in spelling tests but struggle when applying their new knowledge to written work? Do you wonder why this happens? As a general rule, pupils require many opportunities to rehearse their skills in contexts of increasing complexity. This means if classroom teachers focus on spelling primarily at a single-word level, the transfer to everyday usage will never be guaranteed.
A handy tool for teachers and parents

Dictation tasks require minimal preparation, but hold the potential of producing significant gains in pupil performance. Dictation improves the following skills: listening auditory memory handwriting language spelling.
Crowd control is essential!
Dictation tips
3. Repetition of the dictated sections will reduce the memory requirement and make the task less challenging. It is recommended that, over time, the length of each section is gradually extended and the amount of repetition is gradually reduced. This helps pupils apply greater levels of auditory processing and memory.
Dictation aids
The dictation range focuses on a variety of spelling and phonics concepts. As pupils complete the dictation tasks, they are faced with the challenge of applying their recently acquired spelling concepts to the rewriting of passages. This should improve their ability to transfer spelling concepts to their own writing.
Dictation produces significant gains

When presented on a regular basis, dictation tasks hold the potential to produce significant gains in a range of areas. Importantly, dictation assists in the translation of spelling list words to pupils self-generated writing.

2. When presenting dictation tasks, consider the length of each section verbalised and the number of times the section is repeated before (or while) the pupils transcribe. The shorter the section, the less challenging the dictation task.
in
1. Before pupils commence a dictation taski.e. transcribe what they hearits recommended they are exposed to the passage beforehand. Its helpful if pupils are able to process its meaning before writing out its parts.
Sa m
First and foremost, dictation requires pupils attention. Teachers are required to impose crowd control discipline measures in their classes and remind their pupils what constitutes good listening behaviour.

Tips for teachers and parents

How to assist pupils when reading
Most importantly, ensure the pupils have fun and enjoy reading the simple and sometimes silly stories. Encourage pupils to go slowly and not rush the reading practice. Always remember to praise pupils early reading efforts. Encourage pupils to sound out (decode) unfamiliar words. Typically, pupils require multiple opportunities to decode before whole-word (or sight-word) reading is achieved. If pupils are finding the visual element of reading difficult, it is recommended adults use a bookmark to assist pupils to focus on the word or words being read. Another technique that supports the visual aspects of reading is to enlarge the worksheets from an A4 to A3. Some pupils require additional reading practice. If this is the case: read the focus story every day over a week. read the focus story several times on the same day; or
How to assist pupils when writing
Supporting adults can assist early writing efforts by: sounding out words pointing to a desk strip or chart to prompt the recall of alphabet and/or phonic patterns prompting correct letter formation (e.g. Start at the top and go down).
Initially allow pupils to write each word with a different coloured pencil. In this way, while developing the ability to write sentences with spaces (or finger spaces) between words, the use of colour helps pupils see where each word starts and finishes. Some pupils require additional writing practice. If this is the case: read the focus story several times. The more familiar a pupil is with the content of the story, the easier it should be to engage in writing it rewrite the focus story each day over a week. Remember, with short and frequent practice, writing skill development follows.
Finally, ask pupils to read their dictated story back to an adult before finishing the task.
Vi
ew
Importantly, focus initially on only one goal. Over time, as skills develop, pupils are able to concentrate on multiple goals (e.g. spelling goals, punctuation goals and handwriting goals simultaneously).

Pencil grip
It is much easier to introduce and reinforce the proper way to hold a pencil than to try to change an inefficient style after the child has used it for several years. Handwriting difficulties can be avoided in later years if there is an early emphasis on developing fine motor skills, learning how to hold a pencil and regular practice. The shaft of the pencil should rest gently in the webspace. Children can check to see if their pencil is lying back on its pillow.
What is a good pencil grip?

The pencil shaft is held between the pads of the index finger and the thumb of the dominant hand.
The pinch action of the index finger and thumb, with the middle, ring and little fingers tucked into the palm, mimics the action of a birds pecking beak. Children can be reminded to make the birds beak and hold their pencil. Sometimes children find it hard to keep their middle, ring or little fingers tucked into their palm. They often climb onto the pencil shaft. Children can try holding a small marble or wishing stone in the palm of their hand as they write to help them maintain the right grip. There are a large number of commercially available pencil grips to help children hold their pencils correctly. Extremely short pencils can be used to encourage a child to use fingertips rather than the whole hand.

Children can be reminded to hold their pencil with their okay fingers.
in
Make an okay sign with fingers. Place the pencil between the thumb and index fingers, then drop the middle ring and little fingers under the pencil. The last joint of the middle finger sits next to the index finger so it can support the underside of the pencil.

Sometimes the pad of the middle finger is on the pencil, too; this is acceptable if the web space remains open.
