Goal: distinguish an unseen functional text and fictional story, retell an event, make a source-bounded next-step note and read optional print only at taught point. Proposed codes: AC9EFLE03, AC9EFLY01, AC9EFLY03, AC9EFLY05, AC9EFLY12. Prepare: teacher-held Day 200 check, blank portfolio mat; Card 200 only afterwards.
- Welcome · 3 min. Say this small check informs future teaching; it does not grade the whole year. Offer private and accessible response routes.
- Warm retrieval · 4 min. Ask whether C is a story or D is a sign, using only known sources; keep fresh contexts unseen.
- Unseen sources · 5 min. Adult reads the fresh story and functional text neutrally once, with a logged reread on request and no answer gesture.
- First independent response · 7 min. Child names each purpose with a clue, retells the story's problem/action/ending, and says what a record would and would not show. Save exact first words and mode.
- Optional print · 4 min. Plain held CVC blend and print-hidden letter selection only after taught-point/familiarity check. Otherwise mark NOT ADMINISTERED and document evidence; do not infer independent reading from adult read-aloud.
- Close · 2 min. Use key to choose the next teaching move. Add this check as one dated sample if useful, never as a blanket year-complete certificate.
Boundary: Authentic-purpose model texts are usable in a real classroom but are not proof of actual use. A fictional puppet reply or teacher model is never actual audience feedback. One strip or one final check cannot establish the year's English achievement. Original SubjectNest scripts © 2026 NeuroForgeIO Pty Ltd, CC BY 4.0.
