- Retrieve · 3 min. Build
stop,step,stand; make the /s/ and /t/ two separate taps. Reread each once smoothly. - Model · 5 min. With the model bus choice, read each sentence to its stop. Show “the bus can stop” as printed; refuse to invent a town or passenger from that line. Point to capital/full stop as one complete idea's boundary.
- Guide · 7 min. Children choose any of the three Day 23 contexts. Adult reads its scene only. Shared-read its two controlled sentences; move a token for each action or location statement. Ask which claim the actual line supports.
- Child try · 7 min. Children read the selected two-sentence line independently and arrange first/second cards. They make one new oral sentence about the fictional objects, marking it as their own idea rather than a quotation from print.
- Exit · 3 min. Focus group identifies the word after the first full stop and says why it starts a second idea. If child runs sentences together, add tactile start/end tiles and reread.
Access/home/extension: Offer two raised action tokens and large stop symbols; allow AAC response. At home use only the printed invented choices. Extension: make a second order and explain how changing the two sentences changes meaning.
