Parents should also pay special attention to this type of dictation. At home, it is extremely important to teach the child to copy the text correctly, correct it, and find errors in the notes.
Control
This dictation contains a text unfamiliar to the student, which uses words and sentences with learned spelling and punctuation. The main task of the student is to perceive the text by ear and write it in a notebook without errors. It is this type of control that causes the most problems. The main reason for this phenomenon is ignoring the study of the rules at school and at home. If a student does not systematically study the spelling and punctograms studied in the lesson, then there can be no high results in the control.
