Choose one if time and interest allow; Days 185/190 swaps appear only after the fresh check. Adult reads rich language. Each pair uses the same English target in different low-stakes domains; no family history, purchase, real class vote or living thing contact is needed. These are extra worked examples, not additional assessment cases.
| Day | Worked swap A | Worked swap B | What to notice / next move |
|---|---|---|---|
| 181 | Paper train shed: four drawn carriages and two engines. Answerable: “How many engines?” = two. Unanswerable: “Which vehicle do children love?” no child response. | Library spine labels: three made-up animal labels, five place labels. Answerable: “Which label group has more?” place. Unanswerable: “Which is best?” purpose absent. | Child names question, source and missing evidence. Invite a clearer “best for what?” question, not a preference poll. |
| 182 | Toy bakery picture: four outlined loaf cards; one outline = one card, so four. | Bus-route model: three broad STOP symbols; child directs an adult to lay exactly three tokens. Answer: three pretend stops are drawn, not a real route. | Check one-to-one counting and label reading or adult-reading; symbol area/colour is irrelevant. |
| 183 | Sports ticket model: seven blue-free circle tickets and two square tickets. Supported: circle group has five more. Unsupported: circles are more fun. | Paper workshop: three long cards and five short cards. Supported: five is greater than three. Unsupported: the workers prefer short cards. | Keep quantity and evaluation separate; ask which exact row supports the sentence. |
| 184 | Book cart: first “Books win.” Edit to “The paper cart picture shows five books and two boxes; it does not show anyone's favourite.” Answer: source bounded. | Paper aquarium sign: first “Fish are happiest.” Edit to “This invented sign draws four fish shapes.” Answer: only a drawing count is known. | Save first/revised. Scribe rich words exactly and check the child supplied the meaning. |
| 185 | After check only, party plate sketch: three circle plates and one square plate. Answer: ask “How many square plates?” = one; no guest choices known. | After check only, paper postcode model: six letter tiles and two number tiles. Answer: letters have more tiles; no real mail is claimed. | New practice must not rehearse the held theatre-prop categories/counts before checking. |
| 186 | Drawing of a kite: A shows one ribbon, B shows two. Fact about pictures: B draws two ribbons. Imagined: a real kite flew higher. | Invented garden cartoon: one picture has a small circle sun, another a large circle sun. Fact: sizes differ on paper; unknown: actual heat. | Ask whether the sentence describes marks or an unrecorded event. |
| 187 | Paper maze plan: to claim a broad paper token travelled through a maze, record starting/ending places and what actually happened in between; drawing alone will not. | School window plan: to say an outdoor leaf changed colour, obtain permission, date each safe view and record the same identifiable leaf's visible colours; a paper drawing is only a rehearsal. | These are plans, not reports. Never infer touch, health, species or need from appearance. |
| 188 | Picture postcards: A draws two window squares, B four. Supported: B draws two more; unknown: when each was made. | Museum mock skeleton cards: A labels three rib marks, B four. Supported: B has one more mark; unknown: whether either depicts a real animal. | Compare exact features and hold identity/time open. Avoid pretending mock drawings are scientific records. |
| 189 | Traffic-light cartoon: first “The street became safe.” Edit “The invented picture shows a red circle at the top.” Answer: picture detail, no street test. | Space-book sketch: first “The rocket reached the moon.” Edit “The imagined page draws a rocket beside a round moon.” Answer: marks only, no flight. | Edit a source/claim mismatch, not just spelling. Child can choose another truthful sentence. |
| 190 | After check only, pretend tide chart: first “The sea rose today.” Edit “The invented second chart draws a higher line.” Answer: no real sea measurement. | After check only, playground map: first “Children ran to the slide.” Edit “The pretend map draws a path to a slide.” Answer: no observed movement. | Distinct from held diagrams; ask which real dated observation would be required. |
Family option: A five-minute paper question about an invented picture or a caption edit can be done by asking “What can this page tell us?” and “What would we still need to know?” A child may reply by point, AAC, sign, drawing or speech. Family may decline, and nothing needs to be uploaded. Original SubjectNest practice © 2026 NeuroForgeIO Pty Ltd, CC BY 4.0.
