Goal: revise a short text for sentence boundary and accurate meaning. Proposed codes: AC9EFLA05, AC9EFLA09, AC9EFLY06, AC9EFLY13. Prepare: A red cup is on a mat. in moveable word tiles; a matching and a nonmatching original drawing.
- Retrieve · 3 min. Ask a child to show the first capital and the final full stop. These signal the sentence boundary.
- Model · 5 min. Rearrange tiles to A mat is on a red cup. Point to how the changed word order changes the claim. Restore the true caption for the matching drawing.
- Guide · 5 min. Make one deliberate error (A red cup is on a mat without a dot or a blue cup picture) and ask which part to edit. Explain that punctuation and factual match are different checks.
- Independent try · 6 min. Child orders the original tiles, rereads the line and checks it against one drawing. Record first version before feedback; support letter formation separately if needed.
- Create · 4 min. Child makes a new safe paper scene and dictates or selects a truthful short caption. If their chosen idea needs untaught words, adult-scribe those clearly instead of calling it independently decoded print.
- Exit · 2 min. Ask what they changed and why. Keep one before/after sample for tomorrow's portfolio conversation if the child agrees.
