Adult reads these cards and the named source. Child print is a short, optional taught-point strip; all other words are adult-read. Pointing, signing, AAC, large tactile cards, drawing, speech, dictated text and child-directed adult action are welcome for the same target. A child may choose a quiet/private audience or pass on touching materials. Days 165 and 170 are practice after a different teacher-held check.
Day 161
- School garden model: Use drawn Plant P; point to two visible features and name one thing the drawing cannot tell. Child print: “i can see”
- Window-box model: Use drawn Plant Q; choose two shown features, then one question about a real plant. Child print: “a red cap”
- Picture-book plant: Use P or Q as a pretend book illustration; tell what is visible and what a story would still need to say. Child print: “it is on a mat”
Day 162
- Classroom plant sketch: Match A's P to a true short caption read by the adult; say what its picture adds. Child print: “i can see it”
- Park-model card: Match A's Q to a caption about its narrow leaves, not a claim about where it grows. Child print: “a map”
- Picture-book page: Point to a drawn feature and direct an adult to caption it; leave plant care unknown. Child print: “a red mat”
Day 163
- Plant-card page: Use A to choose a title, drawing source, two true details and a question. Child print: “i can see”
- Toy-garden museum: Give P or Q a source label and one complete information sentence, even if spoken or dictated. Child print: “a cap on a mat”
- School display model: Decide which visible detail belongs under a drawing and where a sentence stop goes. Child print: “it is red”
Day 164
- Library information card: Change “many leaves” into an exact detail from A and keep first/revised words. Child print: “i can see it”
- School-garden sketch: Say what a drawing shows; if a real approved plant was actually observed, name that separate source. Child print: “a map on a mat”
- Toy exhibit: Ask a chosen listener what your one-sentence caption means and make one useful edit. Child print: “a red cap”
Day 165 · after your check
- Paper museum: Make a new information page from drawn Plant P with a title and one source-bound sentence. Child print: “a mat”
- Book corner: Compare P and Q without guessing their names, needs or where they grow. Child print: “i can see”
- Art wall: Choose a caption that exactly describes a visible leaf shape in A; add one open question. Child print: “it is on a mat”
Day 166
- Toy shelter: Use C's two labelled roof strips and one disk; retell first material, changed material and reported result. Child print: “a cap”
- Paper display: Direct an adult to place the same disk card over each pictured strip, then tell what C actually says happened. Child print: “i can see it”
- Story-stage roof: Use broad paper cards to tell C's one trial without claiming a real shelter was built. Child print: “it is red”
Day 167
- Paper bridge model: Choose which D explanation fits C's one result and point to the source clue. Child print: “a map”
- Toy-display canopy: Place an overbroad “always” card outside the evidence box; tell what remains untested. Child print: “i can see”
- Folder-cover model: Use C/D to say why one tested result is narrower than “card always works.” Child print: “a red mat”
Day 168
- Pretend shop shade: Ask one safe next-test question using the same gap and a changed load, with no test needed. Child print: “i can see it”
- Puppet shelter: Change one paper condition and say what would have to stay the same to compare. Child print: “a cap”
- Model bus stop: Direct an adult to arrange SAME / CHANGE / CHECK cards for an imagined second trial. Child print: “a map on a mat”
Day 169
- Paper display: Dictate a one-test explanation of C and revise one vague word for a chosen listener. Child print: “i can see”
- Toy shade: Use C's reported result, name what was the same, and stop before a universal claim. Child print: “a red cap”
- Card holder: Make a short caption with a source clue and one further question; keep your first and edited versions. Child print: “it is on a mat”
Day 170 · after your check
- Paper book sleeve: Use a new adult-invented trial and compare a “this try” sentence to an “always” sentence. Child print: “a mat”
- Toy umbrella model: Ask what a second safe paper test would have to show before making a bigger claim. Child print: “i can see it”
- Art-folder flap: Draw claim / source detail / still to test for a different paper design, then explain it to a chosen listener. Child print: “a red cap”
Teacher print note: The narrow optional strips are not a phonics curriculum. Adult reads any untaught strip and logs adult help separately. A drawing of a plant is not a local observation or species identification. Original SubjectNest choices © 2026 NeuroForgeIO Pty Ltd, CC BY 4.0.
