Learner choices

Target/codes: Safely make or direct three broad information cues for a user; AC9TDEFP01, physical making conditional.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Adult confirms large clean blunt paper, thick mark/approved tactile option, stable table and child choice. Otherwise plan only and write NOT TRIED.
  2. Notice source · 4 min. Show blank ASK/CHECK/TELL maker. The A4 page illustrates headings; real cards, if used, are school-approved large pieces prepared by an adult.
  3. Model recording · 5 min. In reader record, separate the child's wording/choice from who physically marks and positions each cue. A drawn card is not evidence of reader use.
  4. Child make/direct or plan · 7 min. Under adult control and only if approved/willing, child marks large ASK, CHECK SOURCE/STATUS and TELL ONLY WHAT IT SHOWS cue areas or directs an adult to do it. Place cues for a chosen reader and the fictional four-try source. Do not operate a ramp or use a private portfolio. No approval: orally plan the positions, mark physical making NOT TRIED.
  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Record actual maker/placer, cue order and one access issue or unknown. If adult made all cues, log adult handling and child's own design decisions separately.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Save first cue set or untried plan.
