AngelBee Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Ok......silly question.... :001_huh: When I do oral dictatation and say a sound, how are the children suppose to know which letter to write? For example: I say /ah/. They could write a or o. Or /k/. They could write c, k, or ch. I am confused. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrightmom Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Angel Bee, If you are referring to drilling the phonograms then of course you would say the /k/ sound by itself only for the letter K. If you were wanting your child to write the letter C then you dictate both sounds of c /k/ and /s/ as written on your tool card. The same goes for the phonogram ch. You dictate the 3 sounds /ch/, /k/, /sh/ and maybe mention the "train phonogram". :001_smile: If you are dictating new words, where the child might not know the phonogram you are asking for because it could be one of several options, THEN you walk your kiddo through that as Mrs. Beers demonstrates on the video. It's a new word and it needs to be explicitly taught. It wouldn't be a test at that point (unlike dictating phonograms for review). You give them the phonogram you are asking for as needed and refer to any rules that might apply in the situation. Sometimes a rule (rule tune) will help the child to sort out what phonogram is needed. Sometimes you just need to tell them what is needed for that word.

I was totally overthinking it! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
