Teacher copy: This page may include teaching prompts or answer keys. Answer keys in this public library can be viewed by anyone. Give learners a clean prompt, use checks as formative evidence, and change a case locally when prior access matters.

Goal: retell problem/action/result from an adult-read text and edit a child-created sentence. Codes: AC9E1LE03, AC9E1LY05, AC9E1LY06, AC9E1LY04. Prepare: The puppet show card, matching Day 19 choice.

  1. Retrieve · 3 min. Show two known one-idea sentences; learners point to the stop and the next start. Rehearse only previously taught code for their route.
  2. Model · 5 min. Read the Week 4 story aloud. Think aloud: “The group had a problem with the card. Miri changed the boundaries. A new actor tested it.” Do not present the rich paragraph as child-decodable.
  3. Guide · 7 min. Reread the story; ask what the first card made unclear and what the group did next. Arrange problem/action/result cards. A: separately model check as /ch/ /e/ /k/ with ch and ck in two different one-sound boxes. B: separately model stand with two distinct blend sounds at each end.
  4. Child try · 7 min. Read one matching Day 19 controlled strip. Make a new one-idea note for a fictional puppet, orally or in writing; if written, child rereads and edits boundary. Adult scribing preserves the child's wording and logs prompts.
  5. Exit · 3 min. Ask a focus learner what Miri changed and how the group tested the new card. If the response names only punctuation, reread the final story paragraph and invite the result.

Access/home/extension: Paper puppets or tactile shapes work; no public performance. Home adult reads the story and child shows two events. Extension: child makes two different messages and explains why the reader needs a boundary.
