Graphic dictations
(Drawing by cells)

Entering school is an important moment in the life of a child and his parents.

The better a child is prepared for school psychologically, emotionally and intellectually, the more confident he will feel, the easier his adaptation period in primary school will be.

Graphic dictations or drawing in boxes for preschoolers are a good way to help parents and teachers systematically prepare their child for school and prevent such typical learning difficulties as underdeveloped spelling vigilance, restlessness and absent-mindedness. Regular classes with these graphic dictations develop the child’s voluntary attention, spatial imagination, fine motor skills of the fingers, coordination of movements, and perseverance.

Drawing by cells is a very exciting and useful activity for children.

This is a playful way to develop a child’s spatial imagination, fine motor skills of the fingers, coordination of movements, and perseverance. Graphic dictations can be successfully used for children from 5 to 10 years old.

By completing the tasks proposed in the graphic dictations below, the child will broaden his horizons, increase his vocabulary, learn to navigate a notebook, and become familiar with different ways of depicting objects.

How to work with these graphic dictations:
Each dictation contains tasks for children aged 5–7 years.
Graphic dictation can be performed in two versions:

1. The child is offered a sample of a geometric design and asked to repeat exactly the same design in a checkered notebook.

The tasks are selected according to the principle “from simple to complex.” If you start studying these graphic dictations with your child, do the tasks with him in order: start with the very first simple dictations and gradually move on to more complex ones.

For classes, you need a squared notebook, a simple pencil and an eraser so that the child can always correct the wrong line. For children 5–6 years old, it is better to use a notebook with a large square (0.8 mm) so as not to strain their eyesight. Starting from graphic dictation No. 40, all drawings are designed for a regular school notebook (they will not fit in a large-squared notebook).

The following notations are used in the tasks: the number of cells being counted is indicated by a number, and the direction is indicated by an arrow. For example, the entry:

During classes, the child’s attitude and the friendly attitude of the adult are very important. Remember that classes for a child are not an exam, but a game. Help your child, make sure he doesn’t make mistakes. The result of the work should always satisfy the child, so that he wants to draw in the cells again and again.

Your task is to help your child master the skills necessary for good study in a playful way. Therefore, never scold him. If something doesn’t work out for him, just explain how to do it correctly. Praise your baby more often, and never compare with anyone.

The duration of one lesson with graphic dictations should not exceed 10 - 15 minutes for children 5 years old, 15 - 20 minutes for children 5 - 6 years old and 20 - 25 minutes for children 6 - 7 years old. But if the child gets carried away, do not stop him and interrupt the lesson.

Pay attention to the child’s sitting position during the dictation and how he holds the pencil. Show your child how to hold a pencil between the phalanges of the index, thumb and middle fingers. If your child doesn't count well, help him count the cells in his notebook.

Before each lesson, be sure to talk with your child about the fact that there are different directions and sides. Show him where is right, where is left, where is up, where is down. Pay attention to the baby that every person has a right and a left side. Explain that the hand with which he eats, draws and writes is his right hand, and the other hand is his left. For left-handers, on the contrary, it is necessary to explain to left-handers that there are people for whom the working hand is the right, and there are people for whom the working hand is the left.

After this, you can open the notebook and teach your child to navigate on a piece of paper. Show your child where the left edge of the notebook is, where the right edge is, where the top is, where the bottom is. It can be explained that previously there were slanted desks at school, which is why the top edge of the notebook was called the top edge, and the bottom edge was called the bottom edge.

Explain to your child that if you say “to the right,” then you need to point the pencil “there” (to the right). And if you say “to the left,” then you need to point the pencil “there” (to the left) and so on. Show your child how to count the cells.

You yourself will also need a pencil and an eraser in order to mark the lines you read. Dictations can be quite lengthy, and to avoid getting confused, put dots with a pencil opposite the lines you are reading.
This will help you not to get lost. After the dictation, you can erase all the dots.

Each lesson includes graphic dictation, discussion of images, tongue twisters, tongue twisters, riddles and finger gymnastics. Each stage of the lesson carries a semantic load. Activities with your child can be arranged in different sequences. You can first do finger exercises, read tongue twisters and tongue twisters, and then do a graphic dictation.

On the contrary, you can do graphic dictation first, then tongue twisters and finger gymnastics. It is better to ask riddles at the end of the lesson.
When the child draws a picture, talk about the fact that there are objects and their images. Images can be different: photographs, drawings, schematic images. A graphic dictation is a schematic representation of an object.
Talk about how each animal has its own distinctive characteristics.
The schematic image shows the distinctive features by which we can recognize an animal or object. Ask your child what the distinctive features of the animal he or she has drawn are. For example, a hare has long ears and a small tail, an elephant has a long trunk, an ostrich has a long neck, a small head and long legs, and so on.
Work with tongue twisters and tongue twisters in different ways:
Do finger exercises together so that the child sees and repeats the movements after you.
And now that you have become familiar with the basic rules for conducting a graphic dictation, you can begin classes.

How to work with these graphic dictations:

Each dictation contains tasks for children aged 5 - 7 years.

How to work with these graphic dictations:
1. The child is offered a sample of a geometric design and asked to repeat exactly the same design in a checkered notebook.
2. The adult dictates the sequence of actions indicating the number of cells and their directions (left, right, up, down), the child does the work by ear, and then compares his image of the ornament or figure with the example in the manual using the overlay method.

Graphic dictations are supplemented with riddles, tongue twisters, tongue twisters and finger exercises. During the lesson, the child practices correct, clear and literate speech, develops fine motor skills, learns to identify the distinctive features of objects, and expands his vocabulary.

The tasks are selected according to the principle “from simple to complex.” If you start studying these graphic dictations with your child, do the tasks with him in order: start with the very first simple dictations and gradually move on to more complex ones.

For classes, you need a squared notebook, a simple pencil and an eraser so that the child can always correct the wrong line. For children 5 to 6 years old, it is better to use a notebook with a large square (0.8 mm) so as not to strain their eyesight. Starting from graphic dictation No. 40, all drawings are designed for a regular school notebook (they will not fit in a large-squared notebook).

The following notations are used in the tasks: the number of cells being counted is indicated by a number, and the direction is indicated by an arrow. For example, the entry:

should read: 1 cell to the right, 3 cells up, 2 cells to the left, 4 cells down, 1 cell to the right.

During classes, the child’s attitude and the friendly attitude of the adult are very important. Remember that classes for a child are not an exam, but a game. Help your child, make sure he doesn’t make mistakes. The result of the work should always satisfy the child, so that he wants to draw in the cells again and again.

Your task is to help your child master the skills necessary for good study in a playful way. Therefore, never scold him. If something doesn’t work out for him, just explain how to do it correctly. Praise your baby more often, and never compare with anyone.

The duration of one lesson with graphic dictations should not exceed 10 - 15 minutes for children 5 years old, 15 - 20 minutes for children 5 - 6 years old and 20 - 25 minutes for children 6 - 7 years old. But if the child gets carried away, do not stop him and interrupt the lesson.

Pay attention to the child’s sitting position during the dictation and how he holds the pencil. Show your child how to hold a pencil between the phalanges of the index, thumb and middle fingers. If your child doesn't count well, help him count the cells in his notebook.

Before each lesson, be sure to talk with your child about the fact that there are different directions and sides. Show him where is right, where is left, where is up, where is down. Pay attention to the baby that every person has a right and a left side. Explain that the hand with which he eats, draws and writes is his right hand, and the other hand is his left. For left-handers, on the contrary, it is necessary to explain to left-handers that there are people for whom the working hand is the right, and there are people for whom the working hand is the left.

After this, you can open the notebook and teach your child to navigate on a piece of paper. Show your child where the left edge of the notebook is, where the right edge is, where the top is, where the bottom is. It can be explained that previously there were slanted desks at school, which is why the top edge of the notebook was called the top edge, and the bottom edge was called the bottom edge. Explain to your child that if you say “to the right,” then you need to point the pencil “there” (to the right). And if you say “to the left,” then you need to point the pencil “there” (to the left) and so on. Show your child how to count the cells.

You yourself will also need a pencil and an eraser in order to mark the lines you read. Dictations can be quite lengthy, and to avoid getting confused, put dots with a pencil opposite the lines you are reading. This will help you not to get confused. After the dictation, you can erase all the dots.

Each lesson includes graphic dictation, discussion of images, tongue twisters, tongue twisters, riddles and finger gymnastics. Each stage of the lesson carries a semantic load. Activities with your child can be arranged in different sequences. You can first do finger exercises, read tongue twisters and tongue twisters, and then do a graphic dictation. On the contrary, you can do graphic dictation first, then tongue twisters and finger gymnastics. It is better to make riddles at the end of the lesson.
When the child draws a picture, talk about the fact that there are objects and their images. Images can be different: photographs, drawings, schematic images. A graphic dictation is a schematic representation of an object.

Talk about how each animal has its own distinctive characteristics. The schematic image shows the distinctive features by which we can recognize an animal or object. Ask your child what the distinctive features of the animal he or she has drawn are. For example, a hare has long ears and a small tail, an elephant has a long trunk, an ostrich has a long neck, a small head and long legs, and so on.

On the contrary, you can do graphic dictation first, then tongue twisters and finger gymnastics. It is better to ask riddles at the end of the lesson.
1. Let the child pick up the ball and, rhythmically tossing and catching it with his hands, say a tongue twister or a tongue twister. You can throw and catch the ball for each word or syllable.
2. Let the child say a tongue twister (pure tongue twister) while throwing the ball from one hand to the other.
The schematic image shows the distinctive features by which we can recognize an animal or object. Ask your child what the distinctive features of the animal he or she has drawn are. For example, a hare has long ears and a small tail, an elephant has a long trunk, an ostrich has a long neck, a small head and long legs, and so on.
Work with tongue twisters and tongue twisters in different ways:
Do finger exercises together so that the child sees and repeats the movements after you.
And now that you have become familiar with the basic rules for conducting a graphic dictation, you can begin classes.

Below are cards with graphic dictations for children in color pictures. In the right column is a sheet that needs to be printed and given to the child. In the left column, opposite the card with a graphic dictation for a child, there is a sheet for an adult. You need to start drawing from the point indicated in the picture. An adult names a number that indicates the number of cells over which a line needs to be drawn and the direction of movement to the right or left (the direction is indicated by arrows). The result should be a drawing with an image similar to the template. Have fun and useful activities!

Artists: E. Belyaeva, E.A. Timofeeva.

How to do graphic dictation

(Rules for drawing by cells).

To begin, on the dictation sheet, in the upper corners, put marks - right and left (if the child does not yet know these concepts). This is necessary in order not to confuse the child, so that he remembers which side, where and what is located. Now start completing the task. The sheet contains the complete image that should be obtained in the end. You take this sheet for yourself, give the child a squared notebook sheet, a pencil and an eraser. Below the picture there are arrows pointing to the right, left, up or down. Near the arrows there are numbers indicating how many sticks need to be drawn in one direction or another (how many cells to close in the direction indicated by the arrow). First there is a number, next to it is an arrow indicating the direction.

this means you need to draw a line 2 cells up from the point,

Then 3 cells to the right and 2 cells down.

In the end the drawing will look like this (see picture)

note, that the pointers (arrows and numbers) in the tasks (provided on our website) should be read from left to right.

At the top of the picture it is always indicated how many cells need to be retreated from the edge and top to start the dictation. In the indicated place, for example: retreat 9 cells from the edge to the left, count 4 cells from above. In this place you need to put a bold point. Help younger children who do not yet know how to count well or count out squares on their own. Set a starting point (from this point the child will draw lines under dictation).

Preparing a child for school is a long and obligatory process. Therefore, psychologists and pediatricians recommend starting a year before first grade, in kindergarten or at home. Because the baby needs to be prepared not only for mental and physical stress, but also moral. In general, how to educate, help to become more diligent, attentive and courageous.

If you can still mentally prepare a child for big changes, by communicating with peers in the yard and kindergarten. You can teach your child to be more attentive, develop writing skills, and carefully complete certain tasks with the help of graphic dictations and drawing in cells. Today, this is an incredibly popular activity that has won the hearts of not only preschool children, but also teenagers. This is a way to teach your child to write, develop logic, abstract thinking, perseverance and painstakingness, as well as fine motor skills. With the help of this activity, the child develops coordination, stability and corrects the correctness of his movements, so to speak, “getting a steady hand,” which will undoubtedly help him in school, when writing dictations and notes in a short period of time.

What are graphic dictations? Imagine in front of you a sheet of paper with cells drawn on it. The task contains arrows (showing the direction) and numbers (showing the number of cells that need to be passed in the indicated direction). If you follow the signs accurately and carefully, draw a line in the right direction at the right distance, you get an image - a picture. In other words: graphic dictations are drawing in cells using the pointers in the task.

Such activities are recommended not only for preschool children in kindergartens, but also for children up to 12 years of age. After all, attentiveness and coordination of movements can be developed at an older age. An exciting activity is an entertaining leisure time not only for children, but also for adults. The recommended age for starting to draw graphic dictations is from 4 years. It is at this age that fine motor skills begin to develop, with the help of drawing in cells.

Graphic dictations are used as an educational game in various places: at home, in extracurricular activities, on vacation, at sea, in the country, and even in a summer camp. It is important to interest children, and what will do this better than such an activity. After all, the end result will be an unknown picture, which can then be painted with pencils or felt-tip pens. By explaining this to your child, you don’t have to worry about his interest in this, not so much an activity as a game that develops his imagination.

So let's start execution. First of all, you need to prepare, namely, purchase a collection of graphic dictations. You can get them not only in specialized children's book stores, but also in stationery stores and second-hand bookstores. You can download them for free on some websites on the Internet (for example, on our website), you can also go to paid sites. The choice of such tasks is large; choose based on the age, gender and hobbies of the child. For kids just starting classes, it is best to choose graphic dictations (drawing by cells) with images of bunnies, cats, and dogs. For girls: princesses, flowers. But, you can start with simple geometric shapes: squares, triangles, prisms. This way you will immediately teach your child coordination of movements, improve hand motor skills, develop perseverance and attentiveness, and tell him about the names and types of geometric shapes. For boys, dictations with images of cars, animals, robots, castles, and funny people are suitable. The easiest graphic dictations, with simple figures and performed in one color - for beginners. More complex tasks - for older children. Choose graphic dictations on a topic that interests your child. If your child is into music, use drawings of musical instruments, treble clefs and notes.

If you have already practiced drawing with your child using squares, start adding variety to your activities. That is, at 5-6 years old, you can do dictations that help you develop even more. That is, buy drawings with those animals that the child has not yet seen and does not know what they look like. Use colors that the baby has not yet learned very well. Expand your child’s horizons in this way, let him increase and replenish his vocabulary with new words, teach them, and find out where they can be used. The main thing is a good mood, enthusiasm and positive attitude of the baby before completing any task. Under such conditions, studying will indeed be incredibly useful, fruitful and not stressful for the child.

After selecting graphic dictations, start preparing. Remember that the child must be praised for a job well done. Even if the picture doesn’t work out yet, you don’t need to constantly prompt, guide and compare with other children. It is necessary to guide and push a little in the right direction. To do this, first of all, you need to teach the child where the left side is and where the right side is. Show where the top and bottom are on the piece of paper. This simple and simple knowledge will help you complete all graphic dictations with 100% accuracy.

Sit near a table with a flat and smooth surface so that the child can sit straight and correctly in the chair. Pay attention to the lighting. Advice: if you want to accustom your child to a school notebook, give him the opportunity to get used to it, learn to navigate, prepare graphic dictations on a sheet of paper, exactly like a school notebook. Now prepare a simple pencil and an eraser so that incorrect stripes can be easily removed and the same dictation can be continued again. Prepare yourself a pencil and eraser as well.

It is worth keeping an eye on the time so that the child does not get tired, so that his hands and eyes have a rest. Although if the child is not tired and wants to continue and finish the work now, there is no need to take away the dictation, the child will decide for himself when enough is enough.

There are time limits for working with graphic dictations

For children 5 years of age – maximum 15 minutes. For older children, up to 6 years old – a maximum of 20 minutes (from 15 minutes). For first-graders (6 or 7 years old) – maximum 30 minutes, minimum – 20 minutes.

Drawing by squares is a great way to teach your child to use a pencil and pen. Teach how to hold it correctly, practice so that your fingers don’t get so tired from holding an object at school. This exercise will help you teach your baby to count correctly, since he will need to count the exact number of cells before starting the lesson.

And so: in front of you lies a graphic dictation task, a pencil. In front of the child is a squared piece of paper or a notebook, an eraser and a simple pencil. On the child’s sheet, with or without your help, a reference point is depicted in the indicated place. Explain that from this point lines begin to be drawn (right, left, down and up), in the direction and with the number of cells that you name. Now proceed, next to the named task, and they are indicated in a line, put a dot with a pencil so as not to forget where you finished the dictation, not to confuse the child and, of course, yourself. Watch what the child is doing. Tell me if the baby is confused about where the left and right sides are. Count together, if necessary, the number of cells.

For example, you have a figure, the most standard one is a house. Tell your child what kind of drawing you will end up with, or keep it a secret for even more interest. From the point you need:

1 → - 1 cell to the right

Dictate clearly; the child must perceive everything by ear. At the end of the work, look at how much the baby’s figures coincide with the given elements. If the baby made a mistake, find out together where exactly. Using an eraser, erase the extra lines, starting from the point of failure, and continue drawing. It is important to maintain the child’s good mood during the learning process.

Reading time: 7 minutes.

Method for developing spatial imagination

Graphic dictations are one of the most effective methods for developing a child’s spatial imagination. They help to achieve precision in hand movements, teach them to deftly use a pen and pencil, and navigate in space. And the child’s free orientation in space is the key to successful mastery of educational material.

In addition, such tasks seem very interesting for children. They are like a game during which a child observes a small miracle: before his eyes, thanks to his own actions, a certain hero or object appears in the cells, a notebook page comes to life.

While performing such graphic exercises, hard work, perseverance are cultivated, and imagination develops. Children experience pleasure and joy, which directly affects their emotional state.

Only a capable child can create an ordinary beautiful drawing, but anyone can do it! This inspires the child and gives him confidence in his abilities.

Graphic dictations are often used in diagnostic practice.

Using performance standards, the psychologist has the opportunity to conditionally divide children into 4 categories:

  1. Children who showed a good and sufficient level of test performance. It can be assumed that they will not have any special learning difficulties in the process of acquiring knowledge.
  2. Children who completed the task at an average level mostly correctly followed the verbal instructions, but made a few significant errors at the reproductive level when completing the work independently. Usually they need individual assistance at the initial stage, they mainly adapt to completing educational tasks independently.
  3. Children who showed a low level of performance. Specific reasons are indicated and individual difficulties are analyzed. Such children require increased attention from the teacher and step-by-step control on his part in the process of mastering new knowledge. Difficulties noticed in a timely manner and the use of certain measures to prevent failure significantly increase the likelihood of correcting the situation.
  4. Children who hardly did any work. Individual reasons are analyzed in order to develop correctional and developmental measures to overcome the underachievement of specific children. These children require a more in-depth psychodiagnostic examination and psychological and pedagogical support.

Graphic dictations - how to work?

How to work with these graphic dictations:

  1. The child is offered a sample of a geometric design and asked to repeat exactly the same design in a checkered notebook.
  2. The adult dictates the sequence of actions indicating the number of cells and their directions (left, right, up, down), the child does the work by ear, and then compares his image of the ornament or figure with the example in the manual using the method of overlay.

Graphic dictations are supplemented with riddles, tongue twisters, and tongue twisters. During the lesson, the child practices correct, clear and literate speech, develops fine motor skills, learns to identify the distinctive features of objects, and expands his vocabulary.

The tasks are selected according to the principle “from simple to complex.” If you start studying these graphic dictations with your child, do the tasks with him in order: start with the very first simple dictations and gradually move on to more complex ones.

For classes, you need a squared notebook, a simple pencil and an eraser so that the child can always correct the wrong line.

For children 5–6 years old, it is better to use a notebook with a large square (0.8 mm) so as not to strain their eyesight.

Starting from an older age, for graphic dictation, all drawings are designed for a regular school notebook (they will not fit in a large-squared notebook).

The following notations are used in the tasks: the number of cells being counted is indicated by a number, and the direction is indicated by an arrow.

For example, the entry:

An example of graphic dictation should read: 1 cell to the right, 3 cells up, 2 cells to the left, 4 cells down, 1 cell to the right.

During classes, the child’s attitude and the friendly attitude of the adult are very important. Remember that classes for a child are not an exam, but a game.

Help your child, make sure he doesn’t make mistakes. The result of the work should always satisfy the child, so that he wants to draw in the cells again and again.

Your task is to help your child master the skills necessary for good study in a playful way. Therefore, never scold him. If something doesn’t work out for him, just explain how to do it correctly. Praise your baby more often, and never compare with anyone.

The duration of one lesson with graphic dictations should not exceed 10 - 15 minutes for children 5 years old, 15 - 20 minutes for children 5 - 6 years old and 20 - 25 minutes for children 6 - 7 years old.

But if the child gets carried away, do not stop him and interrupt the lesson.

Pay attention to the child’s sitting position during the dictation and how he holds the pencil. Show your child how to hold a pencil between the phalanges of the index, thumb and middle fingers. If your child doesn't count well, help him count the cells in his notebook.

Before each lesson, be sure to talk with your child about the fact that there are different directions and sides. Show him where is right, where is left, where is up, where is down. Pay attention to the baby that every person has a right and a left side.

Explain that the hand with which he eats, draws and writes is his right hand, and the other hand is his left. For left-handers, on the contrary, it is necessary to explain to left-handers that there are people for whom the working hand is the right, and there are people for whom the working hand is the left.

After this, you can open the notebook and teach your child to navigate on a piece of paper. Show your child where the left edge of the notebook is, where the right edge is, where the top is, where the bottom is.

It can be explained that previously there were slanted desks at school, which is why the top edge of the notebook was called the top edge, and the bottom edge was called the bottom edge. Explain to your child that if you say “to the right,” then you need to point the pencil “there” (to the right). And if you say “to the left,” then you need to point the pencil “there” (to the left) and so on. Show your child how to count the cells.

You yourself will also need a pencil and an eraser in order to mark the lines you read. Dictations can be quite lengthy, and to avoid getting confused, put dots with a pencil opposite the lines you are reading. This will help you not to get lost. After the dictation, you can erase all the dots.

Each lesson includes graphic dictation, discussion of images, tongue twisters, tongue twisters, riddles and finger gymnastics. Each stage of the lesson carries a semantic load.

Activities with your child can be arranged in different sequences. You can first do finger exercises, read tongue twisters and tongue twisters, and then do a graphic dictation. On the contrary, you can do graphic dictation first, then tongue twisters and finger gymnastics. It is better to ask riddles at the end of the lesson.

When the child draws a picture, talk about the fact that there are objects and their images. Images can be different: photographs, drawings, schematic images. Graphic dictations are a schematic representation of an object.

Talk about how each animal has its own distinctive characteristics. The schematic image shows the distinctive features by which we can recognize an animal or object.

Ask your child what the distinctive features of the animal he or she has drawn are. For example, a hare has long ears and a small tail, an elephant has a long trunk, an ostrich has a long neck, a small head and long legs, and so on.

On the contrary, you can do graphic dictation first, then tongue twisters and finger gymnastics. It is better to ask riddles at the end of the lesson.

  1. Let the child take the ball in his hands and, rhythmically tossing and catching it with his hands, say a tongue twister or a tongue twister. You can throw and catch the ball for each word or syllable.
  2. Let the child say a tongue twister (pure tongue twister) while throwing the ball from one hand to the other.
  3. You can pronounce a tongue twister by clapping the rhythm with your palms.
  4. Suggest saying the tongue twister 3 times in a row and not getting lost.

Do finger exercises together so that the child sees and repeats the movements after you.

And now that you have become familiar with the basic rules for conducting a graphic dictation, you can begin classes.

I have selected several options for graphic dictations for preschool children. I hope your baby can handle them easily.
