Learner choices

Goal: listen to a need, choose a clear request and respect different routes to participation. Proposed codes: AC9EFLY02, AC9EFLY05, AC9EFLY04. Prepare: Card 117, adult story D and school-approved support choices.

  1. Retrieve · 3 min. Child reads I can sit. at the taught point; distinguish a printed sentence from a rule every child must follow.
  2. Listen · 4 min. Read Jo's fictional request. Ask what Jo asked for and what the adult did; do not infer a diagnosis.
  3. Model · 5 min. Turn “No!” into “The sound is too much for me right now. May I use the quiet table?” Make the need and requested action clear.
  4. Guide and try · 7 min. Child chooses one of three fictional situations: noisy game, confusing puzzle or missing paper marker. Give a respectful help request to a named school-approved adult or via a card. Record exact words, not confidence.
  5. Listen · 4 min. Partner/adult repeats the request back and checks they understood. Child may revise or use a private route.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Ask which part names the needed help. If a child wants to share a real concern, follow safeguarding policy privately.
