Daily Dictation Freebie

Writing is a skill that takes daily practice. When used along with our Fluency Strips, this freebie provides students with a genuine opportunity to focus on specific phonics skills and spelling sight words when writing the sentences. As students progress through the Fluency Strips, the sentences become more challenging, introducing new phonics skills and sight words.

How does daily dictation work?


Read aloud a simple sentence.


Your students write the simple sentence on the Daily Dictation sheet.


Next, you write the sentence neatly on the white board to have your students compare theirs with yours.

What writing skills do these cover?

Students grade themselves based on the following criteria:

  • Capital Letters
  • Spacing
  • Spelling
  • Punctuation
  • Neatness
