Goal: Contribute a useful question and respond to another contribution in an optional willing interaction.

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. My question matters · 3 min. “What would you like to ask about a pretend-game story?” Child offers a question, a private own sentence or not-now. No public voice, fixed eye contact or forced partner.

  2. Read and spell at my point · 4 min. Use eligible Day 38 print and a word from it. Independent attempt precedes blending/spelling prompts. If the code is unmatched, teach the missing link separately and preserve oral language opportunities.

  3. A real turn if welcomed · 5 min. With a willing adult/peer, discuss one ordinary G/H detail. Model a genuine question and wait for the real freely given reply. Child responds/clarifies in their established communication; a puppet’s invented reply is story content, not observed interpersonal interaction.

  4. My text for a reader, or private · 7 min. Child creates an actual recount/opinion sentence with picture/available words/exact scribing. If willing, ask a reader what they understood; if absent keep private and self-reread. No audience result or comprehension is supplied by the author.

  5. Use one contribution · 4 min. Only if an actual reply occurred, child chooses whether to adjust their wording or keep it. Record the actual reply separately from intended meaning. Otherwise use exact readback; no invented praise/confusion.

  6. Finish without disclosure · 2 min. Sample an actual turn if there was one; absent interaction remains not observed. No family information, photo, recording or returned note required.

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