Choose one scene. Use large cards, an ordered text list, touchable shapes, AAC, a quiet visual pulse, or direct an adult's hands. Your teacher reads words and holds the new checks separately. Days 145 and 150 are **after-check practice**.

## Day 142

- **Bookmark edge:** Find a card that breaks the named circle–square order; repair it.
- **Garden sign model:** Put one wrong symbol into your own repeated row for a listener to find.

## Day 144

- **Book trim:** Choose two marks and show their unit twice for a listener to continue.

## Day 146

- **Sign stand:** Count thirteen big paper tiles once; show ten and three another way.

- **Maker display:** Move the same pieces to a new layout; explain why none appeared.
- **Paper show:** Give an adult directions for tracking every piece once.

## Day 148

- **Paper stand:** Match one A piece to one B piece; show which design uses more.
