Dictations is harmful; it is not much more than a memory test, it doesn't benefits us much in terms of learning the language yet it takes up precious time for the child, the time that they could be spending on auctually learning English
Furthermore, the time spent of preparing dictation, could be used to help childen enjoy English in many ways, such as reading, watching a film, playing English related game and more. When English is enjoyed and not stuffed down their throat, they can start to truely understand the language, not using the language mechanically.
language is fluid, you can't force it through mechanical means to feed a child and expect them to just get used to it. Childen deserves a better educational method, not dictations.
