DICTATION & ORTHOGRAPHY
Steps For Dictation





1- Read the passage aloud.
2- Read it again, pause after each sentence.
3- Read it without pausing and ask the students to check their work.

You can give the students a paper and let them write their names on them , you can call it (SPELLING PAPER) . Give it to them each time you want to dictate them (and they could see their previous mark)





(When you Give Orthography (practice or testing

1-Use the letters of the word itself.
2-Mix vowels with consonants.
3-Try to use each letter once.
4-Omit one letter from each word. e.g.(t_e)
5-Leave enough space for the letters.
6-Make it clear that one letter is required
7-Use blanks that give space to write clearly e.g.(D_or)
8- Be careful for spacing between words e.g.( A lo_g time ago)













1-Don’t use the tenses e.g (close_)
2-Don’t use only vowels or only consonants.
3-Don’t use it twice to avoid confusion.
4-Don’t omit two letters from one word.
It might look strange .g.(t_e_)
5-Don’t use ****** like (bui.ding).
6-Don’t use ****** like this (d_ _or , d…or)
7-Don’t use strange ****** e.g. (agre)

8-Don’t be careless while typing e.g. (Alo_g time ago) OR (abo_k)



* Never use names of (people, cities, places…)
* Make sure that the words are not repeated in the exam

During vocabulary lessons
you can cover some letters on
flash cards to let them guess the missing letters.


For orthography:
* Use crosswords or scrambled words.
* You can let students choose the correct letter .
