# Optional 6–8 minute practice · two worked swaps for each day

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](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
