Choose complete made-up P or, only with educator/current source/child choice, private actual R on Days 61–64/69. You never have to tell family names, origins, carers, identity, home or culture. “Leave it”, close, switch or pass is fine. A/B/C are switchable options, not fixed learning styles. Point, speak/sign/AAC, draw or direct adult; use broad flat/raised or exact no-touch reading across options. Adults keep source/date/scope notes; children make one small connection/box/story action. Exact alternatives and private workflow. Home ideas free/optional. Check days use neutral support on new fictional sources before any feedback; extra time/unfinished parts recorded honestly.
Day 61 · Connection circles
Shared target: Ask about a source-backed family connection and represent one link; P fiction or approved private R.
- A · Mark/direct: Choose/direct two circles and one exact relation word/line; point to the supplied source cue and ask one small connection question. Close a private field or choose P freely.
- B · Say/sign/AAC: Hear one exact source sentence; ask one connection question and tell/sign/AAC the stated link. Scribe writes only your words.
- C · No-touch/direct: Use broad raised circles or no-touch description; direct adult to join only the source-named people and add your question.
Home: Invent two toy people and a stated connection; no real-family talk needed.
Day 62 · Born and grew up boxes
Shared target: Put source-born/raised words in their separate boxes; one box now is enough.
- A · Mark/direct: Place/draw one exact broad cue in BORN or GREW UP; add the other if known/ready, or leave/close it.
- B · Say/sign/AAC: Hear one sentence, say/sign/AAC which box it fits and why; a missing/private place can stay blank.
- C · No-touch/direct: Use large raised/flat boxes or no-touch reading; direct adult placement using the exact source, not a guessed address.
Home: Give a toy two made-up place cards; do not copy a private location.
Day 63 · A source voice
Shared target: Attach one source cue to a detail; offer a bounded view if chosen or a gap/question.
- A · Mark/direct: Put source cue beside person/place detail; point to one supported fact and optional view/question, no feelings guessed.
- B · Say/sign/AAC: Hear P A/B or approved R phrase; tell/sign/AAC one detail and whose words, with optional own bounded view/question.
- C · No-touch/direct: Direct adult to put one source token beside the matching circle/box; exact no-touch reading works without handling.
Home: Let one toy supply a note; ask whose words it gives.
Day 64 · Keep, change or close
Shared target: Make one respectful source-check choice, tell a supported detail and ask/leave a question.
- A · Mark/direct: Choose keep/change/close card, fix one mismatch from source or leave a private field shut; add a small question if wanted.
- B · Say/sign/AAC: Say/sign/AAC one supported detail and “Would they like to tell us?” or choose to leave it. No real interview required.
- C · No-touch/direct: Direct adult to keep/correct/close one broad field; hear exact source without touch and direct a question or leave it.
Home: Ask a toy a made-up question and let it pass.
Day 65 · Fresh Check A
Shared target: Use Harbor album sources to sort stated people/place facts and a speaker's own view.
- A · Mark: Use broad blank fields for both stated relationships, named birth/growing-place words, the note's speaker and one unanswered question; mark the source number for each.
- B · Say/AAC: Answer each Check A question in your own words, name a source for the stated facts and leave an unstated detail open.
- C · Direct: Direct an adult to sort whole source sections into RELATION, BORN, GREW UP, SPEAKER and NOT GIVEN fields; point to your evidence and one missing answer.
Home: After first check response, invent a different note from a toy character.
Day 66 · Drawn place features
Shared target: Locate three shapes on C and ask what an imagined map cannot say about a real place.
- A · Mark: Trace shelf left, rug centre and table right; add a REAL PLACE? bubble.
- B · Say/AAC: Describe the three positions and why a paper model is not a real visit.
- C · Direct: Direct an adult to draw broad shelf, oval and table outlines in matching positions and add a question the made-up drawing cannot answer about a real place.
Home: Make a paper toy nook with three shapes; do not claim it is a real room.
Day 67 · Special to one speaker
Shared target: Attribute Jules and Emi's views to the right person and pictured feature.
- A · Mark: Link Jules to the oval rug and Emi to the low table; add OTHER VIEWS? outside the two quotes.
- B · Say/AAC: Finish “Jules finds it special because ; Emi would rather .”
- C · Direct: Direct an adult to place two broad speaker headings by exact words without adding anyone else's view.
Home: Give two puppets different made-up views of a paper nook.
Day 68 · An idea needs a check
Shared target: Cite one view and ask a conditional care question without claiming a real improvement.
- A · Mark: Fill the place mat with Emi's view, a question and RESULT NOT SHOWN.
- B · Say/AAC: Say “Emi would prefer ; we could ask ; we still do not know ___.”
- C · Direct: Direct an adult to put Emi's exact view, your possible question and ACTUAL RESULT NOT SHOWN in separate broad fields.
Home: Ask a toy about a paper-room change and what another toy might think.
Day 69 · Private or pretend story strip
Shared target: Tell one short source-based person/connection/place account; private R or complete P.
- A · Mark/direct: Choose a flat strip/circles; point/draw/direct a person, source-backed detail and source cue, plus optional question/closed gap.
- B · Say/sign/AAC: Tell/sign/AAC a brief P person/place/view story or R approved family detail/source/question; no length or public-sharing test.
- C · No-touch/direct: Use broad raised pieces or no-touch source reading; direct adult to arrange/story-scribe one supported detail, then close/return if private.
Home: Tell a wholly invented puppet connection/place story; no family interview.
Day 70 · Fresh Check B
Shared target: Use new Pillar Nook sources to locate, attribute, question and make a bounded conclusion.
- A · Mark: Use large blank areas to record pictured features and two speakers, circle the idea the sources actually support, and add an open real-result question.
- B · Say/AAC: Tell where the features are, attribute each view, then explain which message the sources support and what real result remains unknown.
- C · Direct: Direct an adult to sort drawing, two views and idea into broad fields; point to your source evidence, choose a bounded conclusion and ask what a real result would need.
Home: After first check responses, invent a different fictional visitor view.
