Goal: Predict from a heard-story clue and distinguish prediction from the source ending.
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.
-
An own next idea · 3 min. “What might happen next in your own pretend game?” Child offers one possible event or keeps their first. No mental picture, acting or voice requirement.
-
A matched line today · 4 min. Read one eligible Day 33 line with a first-to-last grapheme sweep; reread at punctuation. Build or write one actually taught word, with any spelling choices/help recorded separately from adult meaning talk.
-
A story pause · 5 min. Read Story G paragraphs 3–4, stopping before paragraph 5. Discuss destination as where a piece is meant to go, and ambiguous as allowing more than one reading. Ask “What might Ari change? Which words gave you that idea?” Accept several clue-supported possibilities or uncertainty.
-
Choose and compare · 7 min. After first prediction, read paragraph 5. Compare what the source actually says with the child’s prior possibility without marking a different prediction wrong. Child can create an own different imagined next event and identify it as their version.
-
Make a short recount · 4 min. Write/type/direct one source-supported or explicitly own-version sentence. Reread for the intended event. An adult can supply spelling while child owns wording; do not count that spelling as independent child encoding.
-
Close with a clue · 2 min. One literal detail, prediction clue or useful question can be retained. If evidence is invented, reread one exact source sentence in another short sitting.
Sample: one useful actual component, support and next teaching invitation; no whole-row score or invented player/listener/learner result.
