  • (R219) Listen then Write: ‘Old School’ Daily Sentence Dictation Practice

    $15.00 including GST

    In this 25-page no-prep resource, we target three things at once:

      • encoding (or spelling) targets that mirror decoding practice (e.g with decodable books);
      • high frequency sentence structures used in English; and
      • English sentence punctuation conventions.

    Our encoding and sentence structure targets are sequenced from simple to complex:

      • In Part A, we target simple sentence structures (like SV, SVO, SVC, SVA, and SVOA) requiring only knowledge of the basic code.
      • In Part B, we target compound sentence structures (using decodable conjoining conjunctions like “and”, “but”, “yet”, and “so”) requiring knowledge of split digraphs, how to encode two-syllable (decodable) polysyllabic words.
      • In Part C, we target complex sentence structures (using subordinating conjunctions, like “because”, “if”, “while”, “before”, “after”, “until”, “unless” “although”, and “otherwise”) and knowledge of high frequency extended code diphthongs and digraphs following the early Sounds Write sequence.

    $95.00 including GST

    This 650+ page workbook includes scaffolded writing practice to help students of all ages generate a variety of complex sentences using subordinating conjunctions, including:

      • “because” – for cause and effect relationships;
      • “although” – for contrastive relationships;
      • “if”, “unless” and “until” – for conditional relationships; and
      • “while”, “before” and “after” – for relationships between events connected by time.

    For each conjunction, sentence fragment exercises have been included to kick-start complex sentence writing. To support people with additional language and learning needs, the modules feature topics that require a minimal amount of background knowledge, and include examples and scaffolds to help model and support students of all abilities.
