# N14 · Two useful views of a bus list

**A small start:** Who wants stop first? Who wants time first? Why?

## Complete supplied source

Original fiction. Miri says, “Put the stop name first so I can find a stop.” Tao says, “Put the departure time first so I can find a time.” Their pretend bus list has a stop named Garden Gate and a departure label “after lunch”. No real bus service, timetable, journey or diagnosis is supplied.

## Choose your way

Tell it, sign, use AAC, point to the words, make broad marks or direct a helper. Two reachable paper spaces are enough if wanted. Start with one clue, keep it private, rest, pass or stop. A helper can read dates or source names neutrally and write the child’s exact chosen words; record any supplied idea separately. These are choices, not fixed learning styles or diagnostic labels.

**Teacher invitation:** Read each speaker’s complete statement without sorting children into types. Let the learner connect name, wanted heading and stated purpose. A helper can read “after lunch”; clock numerals are unnecessary.

**One worked possibility, after an own attempt or if wanted:** Miri wants stop name first to find a stop. Tao wants departure time first to find a time. Keep each reason with its speaker. Neither statement tells what every reader needs.

**What stays unknown:** No lookup trial, successful journey or universal preference is recorded.

**Next teaching:** Offer a fresh invented reader who wants a route name to find a route. Ask whether either existing view meets that stated purpose or needs another label, without claiming it has worked.

**Keep a useful trace if needed:** chosen source/question, exact child meaning, actual helper reading/writing/moving/operation, content help and one useful next step. Missing or unoffered evidence is not a failure; a fictional action is not the child’s performance. There is no length, handwriting, speed or public-sharing requirement.
