Learner choices

Goal: Choose a character and one imagined event, then create a short own recount.

Selected scope: AC9E1LY04 / AC9E1LY05 / AC9E1LY06 plus day-specific language/interaction/story/code components in crosswalk. Rich text is adult-read; independent print only after actual local match.

  1. Your little game · 3 min. “What could happen in a pretend game?” Child chooses a paper-picture character, impossible object or unnamed game. Invite one own oral event immediately; no token movement or rules sheet is required.

  2. Read at your taught point · 4 min. Use one locally eligible Day 31 print card. Adult models first-to-last grapheme blending of a known word, then the sentence in a phrase. Child tries the selected print or receives explicit prior-code teaching. Name which words were adult-read.

  3. A beginning to hear · 5 min. Read Story G paragraphs 1–2 in one short part. Ask “Who is making the game? Where are they?” Discuss counter as a movable game piece, not a counting score. Source characters are fictional; child can give an exact detail or ask for rereading.

  4. Make your own moment · 7 min. “Who did what in your pretend game?” Say one complete idea, then draw/type/write or direct exact adult wording. An oral-only recount is actual oral text; it is not written work. One event/picture can begin the work; no full game is needed.

  5. Read back what I meant · 4 min. Adult/child rereads actual own wording in its available access form. “Does this say what you wanted?” Child may keep or change one detail. Do not replace vocabulary with an adult story; handwriting/spelling help is named.

  6. Keep a tiny start · 2 min. Keep own work privately if wanted. Sample one linguistic choice and one print response, separately. Next invitation could add a place or clarify who acts; no required display.

Sample: one useful actual component, support and next teaching invitation; no whole-row score or invented player/listener/learner result.
