A minute to get a drawing ready

Home invitation, not homework: “What little picture would you like to start?” Use a suitable whole sheet or no objects. Keep the child's first ready idea before offering an adult suggestion. They may point to a comfortable place, describe the sheet or direct an exact placement. Ask what the feature helps them do. If no action occurs, keep a plan. Finish after one idea if wanted. Do not turn the home into a performance score, require a photograph or infer a class result.

Grown-up help

Next help: ask which action begins rather than supplying the picture.
