My dictation exercise includes listening, writing, speaking and scanning and comprehension. There are four sheets to my dictation exercise. 
1.	An article sheet for you to read to the student.
2.	A vocabulary sheet for the student, send this to the student.
3.	A question-and-answer (Q&A) sheet for the student. This is also sent to the student.
4.	A question sheet for you to read to the student.
I suggest you copy and paste into four different documents. The question-and-answer sheet can be used for other dictations.
I convert the vocabulary, and question and answer sheet to pdf format, as the student’s device doesn’t need MS Word installed for it to display.
Send or give the vocabulary sheet and Q&A to the student. Dictate the questions to the student. Then check they’ve written them fully by asking them to read the questions they’ve written. Be aware some will attempt write only a couple of key words! Next you read the article to the student, but not too fast. I usually read it twice, maybe emphasizing the answers. Finally, you ask the student the questions and check their answers.  Maybe re-read the relevant part so they can hear the answer.
