Have your student prepared with paper and pencil.
If your student doesn't write with pencil yet, then use crayon.
If your student doesn't write with crayon either, then make lowercase Alphabet letters on individual index cards. Make several copies of the letters that are repeated most often, especially the vowels. Then when you dictate letter sounds, your student should use the cards in proper order to form the letter combinations which you will say.
PREPARE FOR DICTATION! Make sure that you have gone over the following in advance. Your student cannot learn from you unless you know what you are teaching.
FOR DICTATION OF SENTENCES YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING:
i.e. Pencil and Paper!!!
i.e. Letters which are cut out, for the student who cannot
write to lay side by side to form sentences!
i.e. Letters written on small pieces of paper or index
cards, for the student who cannot write to lay side by side to
form sentences!
THE STUDENT SHOULD BE PREPARED TO READ THE SENTENCES ONCE THEY
ARE CORRECTLY FORMED!
DICTATE THE FOLLOWING SENTENCES.
Say each sentence carefully but NOT slowly.
Then repeat each word in the sentence slowly.
Say the sentence carefully again but do not say it slowly.
Again, repeat each word in the sentence slowly.
Dictate the sentences in this fashion until your student has it
finished.
