Proposed codes: AC9EFLA03, AC9EFLA09, AC9EFLY01, AC9EFLY04, AC9EFLY05, AC9EFLY06.
Goal: Read the three child-controlled dry steps with a visual or tactile last-step choice, resolve it to the offered cup and explain orally why the card is not a capacity result.
Prepare: dry-step user card or exact text alternative, class-owned empty unbreakable cup and dry mat or paper model, adult explanation C, three separate line strips.

  1. Retrieve · 3 min. Blend see, seed, keep and reread Get a box. from earlier sequence. Ask what two letters write /iː/ in see.
  2. Adult offer and oral plan · 4 min. An adult offers the empty safe class cup and dry mat or paper symbols. Read explanation C's first/next/then sequence aloud, then ask “What will our English card help a user do?” Locate an object on a dry mat; it will not measure holding more.
  3. Model line one · 5 min. Show Get a cup. Blend Get, article a /ə/ and cup /k/ /ʌ/ /p/. Say “The adult has offered this cup. The printed command does not itself give permission to take somebody else's item.” Track capital and stop.
  4. Guide full card · 7 min. Present Set it on a mat. then offer a final child-readable choice, See it. or Feel it. Cover the unused line. Record first independent reading, guide a missed link, and ask what it names in each line: the empty cup. Invite a willing user to check the offered cup visually or through an adult-approved safe tactile object/representation. No water or vessel-size claim.
  5. Oral explanation · 4 min. Child tells a chosen listener first/next/last using speech, AAC, sign, objects or drawing. Ask what a real capacity answer would still need; expect a separate adult-run direct comparison. Adult scribes any unrestricted oral wording separately from child-read lines.
  6. Exit check · 2 min. Shuffle the three chosen line strips. Ask for the first and last, then an independent read of See it. or Feel it. Record the chosen route, sequence, decoding and referent separately.

Access routes: large/tactile/text alternative, digital line sorting, class-owned empty cup or raised paper symbol, child-directed adult placement, visual See it. or safe tactile Feel it., private listener, AAC/sign/pointing/typing/drawing. No child handles water, glass, a personal item or a wet tray.
