Choose one small topic or source detail.
Tell, write, type or direct one useful idea.
Read it back, or ask for readback. Keep, change a bit or finish.
Example to hear: The map and cap are inside the bag.
Route1: Make an information card about the supplied paper bag: choose one shown object, write/direct its location, read back the real words.
Route2: Use a familiar suitable object already present: adult and child observe one feature now; child gives a sentence. If no object is wanted, use the bag drawing.
Route3: Give an oral/sign/AAC report about the exact described drawing. Child chooses a detail; an adult can write their exact words. Separately offer accessible eligible print, never count the description as reading.

Choose one short sitting; about 25–30 minutes is an author planning estimate, not a required dose or tested timing. Keep/pause/finish and a return later are valid. No purchase, outing, upload, account, private disclosure, recording, forced speech/eye-contact/movement or audience. Use established communication, sign/AAC, suitable enlarged print, keyboard or exact child-directed scribing as appropriate. Ask before touching/moving belongings; do not require handling real objects. Read rich text aloud or provide agreed exact text access: it is not automatic independent reading. No-print listening/composition alternatives keep meaning useful, but do not prove decoding. Adults record their own reading, phoneme cues, grapheme supply, spelling and physical marking separately. An actual oral report is oral; a picture+language text has actual stated components; an unwritten proposal is a plan. A scribe can preserve child composition while adult spelling/handwriting remains adult. Only observe handwriting when the child actually forms letters. Only record real interaction when a willing other person actually participates. Do not infer a listener reply from a paper figure, adult model or intended reader.
