Adult reads each choice. Child print is an optional, short taught-point strip, not the adult text to decode. Offer the same task by pointing, speaking, signing, AAC, broad tactile cards, drawing or directing an adult. A child can choose a quiet/private audience or pass on touching a material. Days 155 and 160 choices are after the separate fresh check, with different practice ideas.
Day 151
- Book corner: Sort a little story, a book-return sign and a two-frame paper screen by what each helps someone do. Child print: “a mat”
- Maker shelf: Use today's book, sign and paper screen; say which text form you would borrow for a maker story, tidy-up direction or next-step choice. Child print: “i can see”
- Paper theatre: Use today's three text forms; choose which would tell a puppet event, give a prop direction or show a next-step choice. Child print: “it is on a mat”
Day 152
- Reading rug: Put a mock story cover and three scene cards in a sensible order; say what the ending actually tells. Child print: “a red mat”
- Paper shop: Turn source A's broad paper pages in order; point to its character, small problem and last event. Child print: “i can see it”
- Toy library: Direct an adult to read source A's beginning, middle and end; keep its unknown repair detail open. Child print: “a cap on a mat”
Day 153
- Library sign: Choose one useful picture clue and one instruction the words give; say what the arrow alone cannot say. Child print: “a map”
- Sports-kit sign: Make a labelled paper-ball return sign and say what the words add beyond a ball drawing. Child print: “i can see”
- Art-table sign: Draw a broad brush outline and dictate a safe action; say what a picture alone leaves unclear. Child print: “a red cap”
Day 154
- Book-return screen: Use large Next and Back cards to move between two paper frames; say how it differs from one fixed sign. Child print: “i can see it”
- Maker-choice screen: Point to one labelled paper option, reveal a next instruction frame, then direct Back. Child print: “tap on a mat”
- Bus-stop model: Use a pretend paper screen with choice / Next / Back labels; no real timetable or location is needed. Child print: “a map on a mat”
Day 155 · after your check
- Garden-tool card: Make a different short story, instruction sign and two-frame paper screen about returning broad paper tool shapes. Child print: “a cup”
- Toy library card: Choose which of three text forms would best tell a character's small problem and why. Child print: “i can see”
- Art-cart card: Point to a sign's picture clue and a screen's labelled Next step; explain what the picture does not say. Child print: “it is red”
Day 156
- Maker circles: Retell the fictional six-circle event with first / moved / stayed cards. Child print: “a mat”
- Pretend shop: Recast source D with six broad paper stock cards, move two, and tell who did what first and next. Child print: “a cap”
- Paper sports badges: Recast source D with large paper badge drawings and retell six / move two / four remain without guessing tomorrow's use. Child print: “i can see it”
Day 157
- Library cards: Sort a statement about a fictional move into TEXT SAYS or STILL UNKNOWN; show a source clue. Child print: “a map”
- Pretend café tokens: Tell a small paper-token event, then say what its story does not tell about the next person. No food handling. Child print: “i can see”
- Art stickers: Use broad drawn stickers to explain the stated change, not an imagined future use. Child print: “it is on a mat”
Day 158
- Reading corner: Show three broad cards, then two more; say what came first, was added and was together in the fictional report. Child print: “a red cap”
- Transit-map table: Add two large paper route cards to three and retell without claiming a real bus route. Child print: “a map”
- Garden labels: Add two broad paper plant-label shapes to three; ask what the story does not tell about later use. No real plant knowledge is needed. Child print: “i can see it”
Day 159
- Paper shelf: Dictate two short true-to-source sentences about D or E, then choose one detail to make clearer for a listener. Child print: “i can see”
- Sports badge report: Use a different fictional broad-card move, tell first/action/then, and revise one word after a chosen listener responds. Child print: “a red cap”
- Art-cart note: Draw and dictate an actually observed or explicitly imagined card event; show where one sentence ends. Child print: “it is red”
Day 160 · after your check
- Paper shop: Use a new adult-made card account and retell who / first / action / then; leave one unknown open. Child print: “a mat”
- Library basket: Make a different short report from four broad paper bookmarks plus one more; label it fictional until actually done. Child print: “i can see”
- Toy-stage tokens: Direct an adult through a five-token story, state what happened and edit one source-bounded sentence. Child print: “a red cap”
Teacher print note: The deliberately small child-print pool is not a phonics sequence. The adult reads any untaught strip and records comprehension separately. All quantity words in the adult directions are adult-read unless explicitly taught. No photograph, voice recording, profile, home detail or purchase is needed.
