N15 · A library search with no result entered

A small start: What did Joss do? What result is still missing?

Complete supplied source

Original fiction. Library desk record says Joss searched the pretend catalogue for a book title called Garden Stories. The result box is empty. Another line says Joss plans to ask a librarian if wanted; no question to a librarian or reply has occurred.

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.

Grown-up help · teach, model and another useful step

Teacher invitation: Read the action sentence, result box and proposed next line separately. Invite a short “did / not known / might next” account. A child need not use a catalogue.

One worked possibility, after an own attempt or if wanted: Joss searched for the title Garden Stories. The source does not say whether the book was found or understood. Asking a librarian remains proposed; the empty result is not proof the search failed or nobody searched.

What stays unknown: Found/not found, understanding and librarian reply are unknown.

Next teaching: Offer an invented return slip saying the book was returned, but no catalogue-search result. Ask which question that new slip answers and which it does not.

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.
