Route or matching
An ordinary teaching idea. The example below is made up; your own work can stay private.
Have a go
- Keep a picture-choice job of your own.
- Show a route action and a matching action as different proposed ways.
- Choose one for a reason, or keep another idea. Neither needs to be tried.
Example and reasoning
Two proposed forms serve a picture-choice purpose: follow an own drawn route to a picture, or match an own cue with a picture. Neither has been assembled/tried. Ask what differs in the player action and which fits an own purpose. Accept either, neither or another idea. Next help: compare action/relationship rather than merely changing colour; no tested winner is supplied.
Grown-up help
Offer speech, sign, AAC, pointing, drawing, faithful dictation, usual home-language support when competent, private work, pause, rest or finish. Ask one part at a time and keep its meaning. No partner, winner, score, time limit or fixed response length is required. Use only locally suitable broad whole paper/card, a checked marking tool and a stable comfortable table. A helper may act exactly as directed; keep the child's idea and the actual operator's action separate. Record an actual event only when it happened. A missing record can mean unknown; it does not establish that no action happened. A supplied story remains fiction.
Show the worked reasoning after an offered own idea where useful. This context is not a held first/later source.
