Use two fixed raised rails labelled LOW and HIGH, with four large numbered slots. The printed filled dot is the chosen pitch; an outlined dot is the unchosen available level. Connecting arrows mean compare two separate short tones, not a slide or continuous sound. Read left to right, one dot per numbered place. Direction cards can be embossed horizontal SAME, up-right UP or down-right DOWN and include the printed word. A neutral adult reads/moves only as the child directs. Fresh-check alternatives give the public task, never the worked answer.
