Goal: connect a precise feeling word to what a fictional speaker actually says; blend a new CVC sentence at the taught point. Proposed codes: AC9EFLA08, AC9EFLY04, AC9EFLY05. Prepare: Card 116, adult story C, two adult-read word choices.
- Retrieve · 3 min. Show I am sad. as a sentence a fictional character might say. Child blends am/sad without asking them to claim it personally.
- Listen · 4 min. Read story C. Ask what Ari said about the lost card; key word worried, not a guess from a facial expression.
- Model · 5 min. Compare “Ari felt worried because the card was missing” with “Every child would feel worried.” Explain why the second goes beyond the source.
- Guide and try · 7 min. Child chooses a character feeling card, points to/recalls exact story words, and gives a because clause. Another plausible feeling is welcome if grounded and labelled inference.
- Request · 4 min. Practise adult-read “Please help me find a spare card” to a known school adult, in speech/AAC/sign. This is fictional rehearsal.
- Exit · 2 min. Ask “How did we know Ari was worried?” Expect Ari said so. Revisit source versus inference tomorrow if needed.
