What is Dictation?
Dictation, a retrieval learning routine, is the teacher speaking a language chunk(e.g., phonograms, words) so students can produce a written copy. It has therhythm and sound of rote learning.Dictation should be brief and briskly paced.In the beginning, Dictation includes just the phonograms. Later when words arestudied, they are added to dictation, and eventually a sentence is added.JCSpell
Dictation is a two-part routine. First students write what the teacherdictates. Then students dictate it back to the teacher who writes it so they canproof and correct their own work immediately -

"Fostering students' application of knowledge."
Dictation and self-checking phonograms is the first phase of our retrieval practice, recalling knowledge by both encoding and decoding to make that knowledge firm. When we begin Think to Spell (word analysis), students will learn how to apply that knowledge to encode and decode text (sound out words to write and read).
