Opinion of the Court
OTT, Judge.

[*1245] OTT, Judge.

Defendant Feezel appeals his order modifying his probation by continuing his probationary term for five years with the added condition of a six-month jail term. The affidavit for violation of probation alleged that defendant 1) had not filed his monthly reports for three months, 2) had not paid supervision costs, 3) had not reported to his probation officer upon request, and 4) had not made restitution.

At the hearing, the trial court made an oral declaration that defendant had violated grounds one, two, and three of the four conditions, all amply supported by the record. We find no reversible error in the trial court’s finding. However, the written order of modification failed to make or recite any violations. The order of modification must be corrected to reflect the specific conditions which were violated and thus conform to the trial court’s oral declaration. See Brown v. State, 429 So. 2d 821 (Fla. 2d DCA 1983); Dunlap v. State, 405 So. 2d 796 (Fla. 2d DCA 1981).

We affirm the modification of probation, but remand the case for entry of a proper order of modification.

RYDER, C.J., and THOMPSON, JAMES R. Associate Judge, concur.

When probation is revoked or modified, a written order must be entered by the trial court reciting the specific violations found. Feezel v. State, 463 So. 2d 1244 (Fla. 2d DCA 1985). While we find no reversible error in the trial court’s oral findings, we remand for the entry of a written order conforming to the oral pronouncements. Affirmed; remanded with instructions.
