I printed off the dialogue between you and dd and studied it to feel comfortable doing dictation!<br><br>I have a few questions anyway, though. ;)<br><br>My 9yo dd does not seem to do so well with the word photography. She studies words from the passage, closes her eyes, and I <i>know</i> she is not picturing them, she's sounding them out in her head. She has always sounded out words to learn them. (e.g. Missouri--she will say "miss our i" quietly to herself before spelling it). She continually misspelled that word until she used the trick of sounding it out.<br><br>I read your post on word photography and read that Miss Mason says it is a <i>habit</i>; how do I help her become visual instead of auditory? Will frequent dictation sessions help her? What do I say to her to help her visualize the words? (She won't sound them outloud now, but I know she's still doing this in her head.) <br><br>She was unable to sound out the spelling of "reign" today, so she had to visualize it, but I'm not confident she'll remember the spelling on Friday if I ask her.<br><br>I had her visualize a few words earlier this week from a passage, she wrote them correctly on her paper during the dictation session, and when I asked her to recall the spelling today, she misspelled them. <br><br>Do you review words from time to time that previously gave your children trouble? <br><br>There are other questions, but I'll try to figure out answers on my own...Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09720647632619479004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260135.post-45582213207622942452007-10-09T09:24:00.000-05:002007-10-09T09:24:00.000-05:00I do want to start this in the next year or so.

I think I chose too lengthy of a passage (2 sentences but they were long). I tried to make it easier by writing the passage on the dry erase board and then leaving certain words blank that I would dictate to them. But it didn't really work. They really disliked the experience and I was so surprised! My 11yod, on the other hand, loved the experience and did well. Okay, you've given me the inspiration and tools to try again!<br><br>Thanks again, Lindafay!<br>Grace & Peace,<br>BettyBettynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260135.post-40090161750993627772007-10-02T12:10:00.000-05:002007-10-02T12:10:00.000-05:00Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Just this year, we have started using dictation for our spelling. I have different level spellers and nothing seemed to be sticking. My older ones could spell alright but my 8 year old just wasn't getting it. She is feeling so much better and my olders like spelling much more!
