Goal: identify what a caption labels and what it does not establish. Proposed codes: AC9EFLA07, AC9EFLY01, AC9EFLY05, AC9EFLY10, AC9EFLY12. Prepare: source A, Card 131, two safe paper/fabric samples or described equivalents.
- Sound and print · 3 min. With print hidden, say /c/ /a/ /p/ for an oral blend; then shuffle familiar cap, cup, mat without pictures. Child attempts only taught items, then sees the chosen object. Log oral and print separately.
- Listen · 4 min. Read adult source A aloud. Show or describe paper/fabric pair with aligned near ends; do not announce a roof-use conclusion.
- Model · 5 min. Point to object, picture and adult-read label separately. Say “smooth paper” names this observed piece; “best roof” was not tested.
- Child try · 7 min. Child chooses one of three Card 131 invented pairs, points/uses AAC to give a source-backed label and places an untested idea in the separate “wonder” box.
- Check · 4 min. Ask what a picture alone cannot prove about touch. Accept “we need to touch/describe it” under safe access; do not require sensory contact.
- Exit · 2 min. Child identifies one word/image contribution. If fact and proposed use merge, use two trays tomorrow.
