Dictation Sentences Grading Scale

Five points are awarded for each sentence with correct spacing.

One point is awarded for each correct capital letter.

One point is awarded for each correct punctuation.

One point is awarded for each correctly written and spelled word (leaving out words will
earn no points for the omitted words).

Students should take particular care that their letters are written correctly so that
they are given credit for spelling a word correctly. For example, an “h” with a very short stem will look like
an “n”.

The student’s points will be totaled and divided by the points possible on that particular dictation test for
the student’s score. Because sentences vary in the number of words, the total points possible will most
likely change from week to week.
