Here is a document that I adapted PO BOX for my from the very good job of Bruce Demaug (click on orthography).
Format PDF: print in on both sides the page 1 and 2, then the page 3 and 4 as time when you want pages, then to use a massicot to make a small booklet (to staple).

It is about a tool to improve the orthography of the children. The teacher or the pupils write there the words the writing of which put down difficulties. A small system of dictation in binomial allows to improve the orthography of these words (everything is explained in the back of the cover).

Once again, I am not the author of the brain child (most explanation is completely taken back), but my simplification for cycle 2 allows:
- to add to it words seen in class (or only those orthography of which is not controlled, according to the choice of the teacher);
- to put down there the words which pose problem to every pupil (contents vary therefore from a child to the other one).
Alphabetic order is not imposed, to simplify its use from the beginning of the year.
NB: For a reflexion on spelling usage, I suggest you reading this very good job of Karine (CE1), or this subject of forum which relates to it.
Good morning,
Thank you for documents put in distribution on your site and I am going to hasten to adopt that one. I intended to use this system of pastilles to be coloured but I confess that your format is more tempting. A detail a small shell in your explicative text: I encircle him TO THE green .
You set this booklet up fast?
Thank you still,
Titi77.
Thank you for having signalled this shell, I am going to correct as soon as possible
At the moment, I have not set it up yet, I will wait for my first dictations (in 2 weeks).
On the contrary, I began dictations flash , by writing a word in the picture in large, by commenting on it, by asking questions, then by making it write on slate with model, without model
For them, it is a bit as a game, and I have an impression that this desecrates agreeably the job of dictation!
Here file updated on this September 9th, 2009!
Good morning,
I tested your lexicon with my ce1 (I wait the second quarter for for PO BOX). And the children love! Twice a week they have the day before 5 words which they have to know by heart and the following day they have them dictated by the friend on a slate (I pass to prove discreetly) and in my astonishment this runs (needs to trust in them to these babies!!). Thank you still.
I also make the word of day in red in the picture which they have to register on their lexicon.
Thank you Chris for your return.
I also still wait for the PO BOX. At the moment, they just learn to memorise words in small groups
I searched printable games for my small chick who is in CE1. Incidentally I discovered this address and I have only one thing to be said: BRAVO!!! For sure I will search points by points and mazes also, but I find very well also to link up the words which go together for example, or how to reach the useful with the nice; o) THANKS A LOT and good weekend!
Good morning,
I have just read the job of Karine on orthography and I need an opinion:
I discovered dictation during a conference without error of A. Ouzoulias (Karine speaks about it besides in the memo) and I set it up this year with one PO BOX: they have 5 words to learn at home (words of our reading) and the day of dictation, they know that words are overleaf of their leaf and that they can look at them if need. This, to put the pupil in situation of success. Problem is that, in the course of the months, they always look so much at the model and I think that as they know that the model is there, they do not take the trouble to work on home more, I have a pupil in big difficulty and even with the model, it does not succeed in writing words.
I feel like setting up your small notebook of lexicon because to work for two, it always motivates them.
I wait for your advice with impatience.
