Every bridge uses invented sources only, takes around 2–5 minutes and may be skipped. Class learning needs no purchase, device, printing, home object, photograph, translation, answer return, adult availability or real family-event disclosure. A carer may use a familiar spoken language, point, sign or do nothing. These are not scored homework or invitations to share private history.
| Day | Optional bridge |
|---|---|
| 111 | Read “some visitors made strips” in fictional A. Ask whether “some” means “everyone.” |
| 112 | Put one paper token by OPENING and one by LATER MARKING; leave names blank if notice gives none. |
| 113 | Say “Alba tells Alba's reason”; invite a child to finish “we do not know ___ about the others.” |
| 114 | Read Jun's fictional words and practise “We know Jun did not make one; we do not know why.” |
| 115 | Fresh check day: offer rest or celebrate a careful question; do not practise Paper Gate Day answers first. |
| 116 | Compare “Why did everyone?” with “Did you join? You may pass.” A child can choose the gentler question. |
| 117 | Ask which invented source answers Alba's reason and whether Jun's reason has been supplied. |
| 118 | Build a three-part spoken account: event fact, Alba says, Jun says; stop at “reason not told.” |
| 119 | A child may privately tell a willing carer one source fact and an optional question; silence is equally acceptable. |
| 120 | Fresh check day: ask which source question the child liked, not for test answers or family histories. |
