this CP report card mentions for the 1st period "il comprend ce qu'il lit et avance bien en dictées muettes". That "silent dictation" really throws me. Any help appreciated.

: Yes, I like this. It's a lot less pompous than 'dictation'!//True, it may not be exactly the same as at Montessori.

Comment: "I used "picture spelling/silent dictation" in combination but unfortunately can award Kudoz only once, and the picture spelling explains the issue better, I feel. Thanks go to all of you who have been of tremendous help!"

phonetic dictation
Used in Montessori schools, with a 'moveable alphabet'. They don't actually name it as 'phonetic dictation', but that's how I'd describe it.

silent dictation
Looks like it is just that.
You also have the ability to upload the file you have recorded in to dragon for silent dictation in to your word processing application, but I have found this quite unreliable in noisy environments without purchasing a separate microphone which, for a good model can cost upwards of £50. Dragon is also very sensative and not very tolarent of background noise, so a good headset is advised.

: Helen, I don't think this (your Dragon example) is the context

Yet another technique, it seems. Not positive on English name.

a French school practice of memorising a text and writing it out in controlled conditions
This is what we did regularly at school in France... It is to give you a head start with the spelling and grammar of a text and improve your memory.

OK, I remember now, we called it autodictée at a later age... probably best to ask for more details on this one if at all possible because different teachers probably have different names for their methods... If it is what I have suggested, then in CP it would clearly be would clearly not be "texts"!!
