Daily Dictation Sentences | Phonics & Writing Practice

Dictation sentences are one of the best ways for students to show that they have a true understanding of their phonics skills. Each day, you will read aloud focus words and a dictation sentence for students to write in their notebooks. This gives you immediate feedback on whether or not each student has mastered the phonics skill.

Dictation sentences are also a great way to practice handwriting, punctuation, and capitalization.

Using dictation sentences in writing practice allows you to analyze which skills students have mastered, and which skills still need to be reviewed.  When students are able to apply their knowledge in their writing, you know that they have a true understanding.
