Goal: identify beginning, changed event and ending in an adult-read original picture story. Proposed codes: AC9EFLE03, AC9EFLY05, AC9EFLY10, AC9EFLY12. Prepare: Card 121, adult story A, three large blank frames.
- Sound then print · 3 min. With print hidden, say /m/ /a/ /p/ and hear one oral blend; then shuffle map, mat, cap, cup without picture and hear a first print blend at the child's taught point. Log oral and print evidence separately.
- Listen · 4 min. Read paper-garden story A. Say “paper garden” is an invented picture, not a real plant's growth clock.
- Model · 5 min. Place bare page/seed, added shoot, tall pretend plant as beginning/change/ending. Name what the source actually says at each point.
- Child try · 7 min. Mix adult-read event cards. Child orders and retells by voice, AAC, sign, tactile cards or child-directed scribe; record first arrangement and one source clue.
- Check · 4 min. Ask whether the last frame alone tells a visitor how the drawing changed. Expect no; earlier frames show the sequence.
- Exit · 2 min. Child names one thing that changed. If first/last are swapped, teach two-frame contrast tomorrow before three.
