# Two new public formative checks · learner copy

These are held low-stakes puzzles for selecting the next teaching move. A child may use broad cards, tactile rows, drawing, AAC, a neutral adult scribe or an optional approved sound after making the plan. The first response is recorded without coaching. No voice, hearing response, timed playing, public performance or personal story is required. Keep the [separate teacher key](teacher/KEY-AND-NEXT.md) from learner-facing printouts until the first responses are saved.

## Check I · the picture-map visitor

**Day 15.** [A4 I SVG](check/fresh-i.svg) · [A4 I PDF](check/fresh-i.pdf) · [exact text/tactile alternative](print/TEXT-ALTERNATIVES.md). A fictional paper picture-map has four equal beat places. The starting plan has **X at counts 1, 2, 3 and 4** and **one star at count 2**. The maker wants the **last beat place** to be the only one marked for a gentle accent. Keep all four X marks. Move the single star and show the new four-place plan. Tell, point or direct an adult to record which count you chose and why. A star is a planned emphasis; no loud sound is asked for.

**Record without coaching:** first star place, four X count, changed star place, child's reason and route; any later optional sound separately. This silent score cannot prove hearing, actual emphasis or timed performance.

## Check J · the paper reply board

**Day 20.** [A4 J SVG](check/fresh-j.svg) · [A4 J PDF](check/fresh-j.pdf) · [exact text/tactile alternative](print/TEXT-ALTERNATIVES.md). A fictional paper reply board has two aligned rows of four places. The upper **PULSE** row is `X X X X`. The lower **ANSWER** row begins empty: `– – – –`. Keep every PULSE X. Add **one** ANSWER X **after the third pulse** and leave the other ANSWER places quiet. Show both rows and tell, point or direct an adult to record why the one reply fits. The marks are a musical plan; no real person has replied.

**Record without coaching:** the first two-row score, chosen answer count, four pulse X, one answer X, child's reason and route; any subsequent observed sounding or willing audience separately. Do not infer listening or two-person coordination from a silent board.
