Alycia's First Dictation

Alycia had her first dictation 2 weeks ago and her second dictation last week. There were around 40 words in each of the dictation. She fared quite well in both the dictations and had several careless mistakes. She has to learn not to be so excited and jump the gun and learn to think before she writes or do anything. That's how her careless mistakes always happen.




Do you think this dictation is too difficult for 5 and 6 year olds?

I am a kindy teacher with 2 kids 5 and 6. I personally feel that difficult for slow children and challeging and fun for those who are fast learner.

Her writing is beautiful. I think your Alycia is a smart girl, she can spell so many words at age of 5. Do you send her for any extra English class apart from kindy?
