Teacher copy: This page may include teaching prompts or answer keys. Answer keys in this public library can be viewed by anyone. Give learners a clean prompt, use checks as formative evidence, and change a case locally when prior access matters.

Proposed codes: AC9EFLA09, AC9EFLY04, AC9EFLY05, AC9EFLY06, AC9EFLY07.
Goal: Choose two genuine samples, fix one sentence boundary and explain one strength and one next step to a listener.
Prepare: learner's verified information page, controlled story revision, earlier sound/word notes, page/portfolio mat.

  1. Retrieve · 3 min. Give a private two-word check from pond, swim, box, fish, a, is, sh, ch according to the learner's previous note. Record exact reading, not a generic “good”.
  2. Teacher edit model · 4 min. Show kit got a box as a deliberately unedited strip. Say “Kit is a name. At the start I need capital K and at the end a full stop.” Change it to Kit got a box. and reread. The lower-case word kit remains decodable before correction.
  3. Child edit · 5 min. Give jem got a hat with the same two missing features. Ask learner to correct it with tiles, typing or pen; if unable, model after recording and retry. Ask what the marks help a reader see.
  4. Portfolio rehearsal · 7 min. Lay out one Day 44 information page and one Day 47 story/revision, with dates or learner codes. Ask “Which page shows a checked fact? What changed in the story? What can you read now? What will you practise?” The learner chooses the audience: teacher, partner or approved private recording.
  5. Partner/listener check · 4 min. Listener repeats one understood strength and one next step. If the adult supplied an answer, record it as support. Do not rank learners publicly or compare family experiences.
  6. Exit check · 2 min. Present Sam got a box. and ask for an independent read plus the capital and ending mark; then ask learner to select a specific next word/link to practise. Record both.

Access routes: actual dated work or coded facsimiles, large/tactile print, AAC, drawing/objects, quiet conference, typed/handwritten edit or adult scribe with exact support noted. The child need not perform for the whole class.
