The words in dictation...

Post by annaz » Fri Aug 19, 2011 2:23 pm

are they duplicated as we move on in dictation? So if dd simply "happened" to get the word right in that lesson, will it be used again later to make sure getting it right wasn't a fluke? Because this would alleviate where they would see the word once and simply knowing it because they saw it, but didn't actually learn it because it's not used enought to remember it. Make sense? :wink: Do the words pop up throughout, so they are practiced more than once?

I've noticed the words are typically used several times, so they should come around again, and dc should be seeing them multiple times. I also type all of the dictation for each book, so I really do take special note of the words used, and am pretty confident in this answer. :wink: Good question! :D

Thanks - I have become a better typist, that's for sure! :lol: I try to help out how I can, but Mike and Carrie are the ones that make it all come together. Have a wonderful weekend! :D
