In modern Israel the ancillary dots are only a study aid for those first learning to read or for immigrants just learning Hebrew.

When i went to school there (grades 4-8) everyone wrote without the dots. They are used neither in literature nor in hand written text. I'm not sure what equivalent they have in the English language as a study aid.
