Galac6 reads the dictation aloud. Your child writes it down, then every mistake is marked with the rule that explains it. From CP to lycée, without you having to dictate.

  • Over 2,000 dictations, written and checked for every level.
  • Read aloud, at home or in class.
  • Marking that explains every mistake, without punishing.

How it works

A dictation in four steps

  1. The levelYour child picks their class: Galac6 offers a suitable dictation, from CP to lycée.
  2. ListeningGalac6 reads the text aloud, as a parent or teacher would.
  3. WritingYour child writes on screen, or on paper and then takes a photo of the page.
  4. MarkingEvery mistake is reviewed one by one, with the matching rule, so it is not made again.

Serious dictations

Checked texts, precise marking

Texts for every class

Dictations written and checked for every class from CP to 3e, and extracts from great public-domain authors up to Terminale.

Every difficulty of the language

Spelling, agreements, homophones, conjugation and punctuation: the marking spots each type of mistake.

Marking that helps pupils progress

For every mistake, the correct spelling and the rule, explained simply. Your child understands why, which helps avoid making the mistake again.

No stress at home

No need to look for a text or dictate it yourself: your child practises alone, at their own pace, and sees their progress.

For teachers

Each pupil takes the dictation alone on screen, in class or at home, and gets tailored dictations built on their own mistakes. Paper copies are scanned, then marked.

Wherever French is spoken

French spelling is the same everywhere: the dictations also help children living outside France keep up their French.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about dictation

Are the dictations really read aloud?

Yes. Galac6 reads every dictation aloud: your child listens and writes it down, without an adult having to dictate.

How is the dictation marked?

Galac6 compares the copy with the text, reviews every mistake one by one and explains the rule to apply: agreement, homophone, conjugation, spelling or punctuation.

For which levels?

From CP to 3e, with dictations written for every class, and up to Terminale with extracts from great public-domain authors. The dictations follow the French curriculum.

Can teachers give a dictation to their class?

Yes. Each pupil takes the dictation alone on screen, and Galac6 suggests the marking and the grade: the teacher has the final say. Paper copies can be scanned, then marked.
