Year 3 and Year 4 Autumn Term Spellings Dictation - Worksheet

The Year 3 and Year 4 Autumn Term Spellings Dictation Worksheet is a valuable tool for helping students practice and reinforce their spelling skills. The worksheet is designed to test whether students can accurately write simple sentences that are dictated to them, which include specific words and punctuation they have learned so far. Teachers are provided with guidance on how to conduct the dictation, including reading the sentences out loud multiple times and allowing children to transcribe the sentences neatly and accurately.

The dictation sentences cover a range of statutory spellings for Year 3 and 4, and the process is straightforward: students must listen carefully to the sentences read by their teacher and write them down from memory. Marks are awarded for correct use of capital letters, accurate spelling of the bolded words, and appropriate punctuation, including full stops or question marks at the end of each sentence. The worksheet is split into terms, with each term featuring a list of sentences that incorporate the spellings for that period. There are also challenge questions provided to extend learning for those who are ready for a more difficult task.
