Writing Dictation Practice
Have your child practice writing simple sentences at home each week for homework. Give an easy sentence, such as 'I have a dog'. Encourage your child to write the sounds he HEARS. Help him use the ABC card (provided at Academic Night). Help him count the words before starting to write, remind him to leave spaces between words. Do not spell words for your child.
Instead, encourage your child to write the sounds as best he can and give lots of praise for attempts. Kindergarten students are not expected to use conventional spelling for all of their writing. They will be expected, however, to record sounds that can be heard when the word is spoken.
"school" spelled "skool"; "hav" for "have" or "tree" spelled "tre" is acceptable in kindergarten. SOME children in kindergarten may progress beyond this point and will be able to demonstrate conventional spelling. Your child will be encouraged to progress at a level that is appropriate for him.
