Foundation / Queensland Prep · five optional 35-minute connecting sessions, Days 191–195. Pair these with English Days 191–195 and mathematics Days 191–195. The subject packs supply their own first-response checks and worked keys. Teach the different Day 195 case below after both checks; it is supported practice, not another independent score.

Prepare: Cut broad paper cards, or read each invented source as an exact linear list and let the child direct an adult. Give a fixed page orientation for left/right. Offer point, sign, AAC, private speech, drawing or child-directed movement without assigning a mode to a diagnostic label. Keep a child's first explanation, exact prompt and any actual listener response. A paper listener is MODEL. No child survey, real gallery, travel, device, purchase or identifiable work sample is needed.

Day Thirty-five-minute sequence Keep and teach next
191 · An answer needs an audience and a source 5 min ask who might use a guide and let the child choose an imagined visitor; 7 min show a new fictional display sheet with 14 broad blank square labels and a separate numeral card FOURTEEN; 8 min model pairing one label to one mark, without counting a drawn margin as a label; 10 min child checks all fourteen by cards, marks or adult mover and says “on this sheet” before explaining whether the numeral fits; 5 min ask what the visitor still could not learn about any real display. Save the child's count trail, numeral decision and one listener-facing sentence. This sampled fourteen, not the whole 0–20 range. Adult-read label words are not evidence of child decoding.
192 · Tell how a whole was made 5 min show two separate broad trays and ask what a newcomer needs to know; 7 min introduce eight fictional paper badges: two in a top tray and six in a bottom tray; 8 min model “two and six are parts of the same eight” with each badge used once; 10 min child explains a clear place/check/return sequence and shows 2+6=8 with a chosen response route; 5 min invite an actual willing listener or explicitly MODEL a possible question, then revise one ambiguous word. Keep two labelled parts and the eight-whole trail. Do not describe modelled feedback as a peer's response or a family badge collection.
193 · A shape needs a reason and a fixed place 5 min read an original fictional instruction, “Put the round card near the board,” and identify what remains unclear; 7 min place a fixed BOARD marker on an upright page with one circle above it and one triangle to its left; 8 min child traces or describes curved versus three-straight-side boundaries and uses the named BOARD marker for place; 10 min child directs another person or a paper mover to rebuild both positions from revised words; 5 min record what the mover actually did, if anyone did, or mark MODEL only. Preserve the original and revised directions, shape boundary and fixed reference. The paper position does not prove navigation in a real room.
194 · A picture set answers a given question 5 min compare a source-bound answer with “everyone chooses this”; 7 min give twelve invented paper tags, seven with an open-book outline and five with a closed-book outline, and the given question “Which outline appears more on this sheet?”; 8 min model one-to-one sorting without reading preference into the pictures; 10 min child tracks 7/5 and tells a new visitor the question, source, result and limit; 5 min ask for one clearer label after actual consented feedback or a labelled MODEL response. Keep all twelve source tags, both counts and first/revised wording. No real reading preference or library use was collected.
195 · A different case after the subject checks 5 min run the held English and maths Day 195 checks first, then show a new pretend paper kite-board with four broad wing-outline icons and six tail-outline icons; 7 min give “Which icon appears more on this board?” and “Which kite do real children prefer?”; 8 min child identifies the answerable question and tracks 4/6 once each; 10 min child explains the bounded result to an imagined visitor or willing listener and repairs one vague phrase; 5 min use the separate checks to choose the next teachable move on audience, number, shape/place or given-question evidence. Keep after-check work separate. The English BAG/BOOK/PENCIL desk-card check and maths numeral/shape/PINE–SHELL sheet are absent; all public checks may need local replacement after exposure.

Curriculum and evidence: The English crosswalk governs audience, explanation, editing and taught-point print. The mathematics crosswalk pins AC9MFN01/03/04, AC9MFSP01/02 and AC9MFST01 for the selected number, part, shape, location and given picture-data tasks here. This is proposed partial alignment, not a complete curriculum result.
