Complete source: An original empty weather-desk example is narrated as fiction. A child-character selects C09's labelled forecast for an indoor chapter choice, offers a tentative idea and if-plan, and leaves the later-record and comparison fields empty because no later source is supplied. The character finishes without sending a message, performing a weather view or choosing an actual chapter. A possible reader and feedback also remain absent.
Worked meaning: A useful organiser can hold a plan and open question without claiming an investigation or forcing every field. Empty later/comparison spaces are honest. Finishing does not manufacture later information, actual use or achievement.
H01–H10 · Small home offers
About 3–5 minutes is a planning suggestion, not a daily requirement. Use only the named complete ordinary source above or one genuine wanted ordinary notice, not held sources or staff keys. Read it to the child first; give an own idea before the model. A child can talk, sign, use usual AAC, direct marks, pause or pass. No purchase, homework return, outdoor check, account, photograph, diagnosis label or public sharing. Actual local weather/safety remains an adult decision; the complete paper option always works. The check is a meaning to notice, not a mark to award.
H01 · Send one little message
Read all C01. Offer “forecast, report or plan?” for one chosen sentence, using three spoken doors if no paper. Ask why the label fits. A helper can repeat exactly without choosing the answer. Notice: future possibility versus recorded event versus intention. If muddled: read C02's unfinished job and keep its result empty. Finish after one meaningful relation.
H02 · Give the story a backup
Read C04. Offer a favourite indoor story topic for possible later rain and another if no rain is recorded in the relevant view. Ask “What would you check before choosing?” Keep both choices usable; weather need not decide the child's favourite. Notice: a conditional plan, not a forecast guaranteed by an early dry clue. Next: C03's complete staged story can be used at another sitting under its release rule.
H03 · Whose place is this clue for?
Read C05's full two-place story. Say the wanted visitor job again and invite one matching message or useful question. Place labels can be spoken slowly; no town-name spelling test. Notice: particular place/time relevance. If everything is applied everywhere: retain each label and ask which question the other clue can answer.
H04 · A wanted notice, or a paper one
Offer full C07 or an actual already suitable indoor notice selected by the adult. Ask for one question or caption and name who perceived/described/wrote. Do not go near a window, open it or watch the Sun to complete this activity. Notice: source/actor attribution. Next: C08 separates the helper's report from the child's question. “Not available” can finish it.
H05 · Radio from the sofa
Read C09. Child gives a short private forecast/if-plan bulletin to an imaginary listener, using speech/sign/AAC/drawing. No recording or performance audience. Notice: uncertain forecast and conditional job with source time/place. If the evening result is invented: point to its empty slot and ask what a later report would add.
H06 · An earlier-and-later comic
Read C12 in full. Choose two weather frames and one separate own plan frame, or tell them orally. An adult may make broad marks under the child's direction. Notice: source weather change, reported character choice and intended own choice remain different. Next: use C02's unperformed choice if plan becomes action.
H07 · Let the gap stay empty
Read C14. Invite one label for the unrecorded interval and one useful question. A blank paper space, spoken “not recorded” or AAC equivalent is enough. Notice: missing information is not zero or continuous rain. Next: compare its recorded endpoints without inventing the middle. No child log is required later.
H08 · Old information, new question
Adult reads the complete small P2 fact card in Useful facts, with their source limits, or uses C15's full fictional longer record instead. Ask “What does this tell us, and what doesn't it tell about today?” No decimals or mean calculation. Notice: source scope versus today's result. Next: use C06 to separate past information from a current forecast and a later observation.
H09 · Could these both fit?
Read C17. Ask whether morning and afternoon reports can both describe that patch, and what would help answer an agreement-at-one-time question. Child can direct a line between labels. Notice: the question determines relevant matching; no liar/fault has to be invented. Next: C18 offers a complete already-agreeing pair.
H10 · Your own little bulletin
Read C19. Child chooses one helpful source-labelled clue, if-plan or missing-result question and tells a private imaginary reader. Keep only a wanted own record in a suitable place; no return is owed. Notice: a useful bounded message rather than every field completed. Next: use C20 to show finishing with an honest open question.
X01–X10 · Optional extra jobs
These add a new mechanism/question, not another compulsory worksheet. Each uses complete ordinary givens and keeps staff/held later sources out of ordinary teaching.
X01 · Swap the speaker
Read C01. Adult changes the imaginary speaker from forecaster to reporter without changing the future sentence, and asks the child whether the name alone makes it an observation. Repair the sentence's role or speaker label with a reason. Check: content/time/role matter together. Next: C08 for who supplied the meaning. Do not tell a child their own uncertain prediction was wrong because an adult spoke it.
X02 · One choice can still be sensible
Read C04. Child chooses to keep a favourite indoor story whichever weather is recorded, then explains why the forecast remains information even if it does not change that choice. Check: using science does not force one preferred activity. Next: distinguish the child's purpose from C03's particular fictional if-plan. No pretend weather safety approval.
X03 · Make the missing tag
Read C06. Child creates/directs a broad “issued when” tag and a separate “forecast for when” tag. Ask what a reader cannot know if one tag is removed. Check: message age and forecast period differ. Next: request the missing detail rather than create a newer source. Calendar/clock numerals can be read by the adult.
X04 · An honest helper strip
Use full C08. Make/direct a four-part strip: child question; adult description; exact child interpretation if actually offered; adult marks. No child interpretation is supplied in this story, so that part stays empty unless the real child adds one now. Check: the new real interpretation is labelled as now, not the fictional character's unseen response. Next: C07 for a useful drawn-feature question.
X05 · Design for a reader who asks back
Use C10. Offer an imaginary reader's question “Has tomorrow's result happened in this story?” Child adds a source/plan/result label to answer it. If a willing actual reader supplies a different question, retain their actual words and use relevant source evidence. Check: real and imagined feedback separated. Next: C19 for a result that is still absent.
X06 · The cause stays a question
Read C11's complete available later stage under its first-opportunity rule. Child identifies the missing cause and writes/directs a question without proposing a weather measurement or outing. “What else did the note-maker record?” is one possibility after an own invitation. Check: question instead of invented temperature/wind cause. Next: C14 for another honest gap.
X07 · Tell it without a table
Read C13. Child represents one bounded repeated relation using a spoken rhythm, signed sequence, AAC order or broad directed picture path. Label each time; do not use loud sound or demand movement. Check: scientific relation survives a change of representation. Next: C14 if unknown data disappear during the representation.
X08 · More years is a source question
Read C15. Invite a next-year or different-month question and state what additional relevant records would be needed. Leave every unsupplied result empty. Check: a question about broader evidence, not a promised whole climate pattern. Next: C16 for a source exception; no assumed local four-season calendar or cultural translation.
X09 · Change just the comparison question
Use full C18. First ask about agreement on the drawn pane; then ask about a real open ground patch outside. Child explains which supplied match answers the first and which unsupplied source the second needs. Check: an already useful pair can fail to answer a different question without becoming false. Next: C17 for the intended daily time difference.
X10 · A message another person could adapt
Use C19/C20. Child arranges/directs source label, bounded clue, own purpose, if-plan and open question in any wanted format. A willing reader can suggest one actual change with permission; otherwise the imaginary reader remains clearly imaginary. Check: useful communication and honest unknowns, not polish or public uptake. Next: choose only the missed ordinary relation for another small start.
Ten written narration pieces
These are original read-aloud scripts, not generated audio, certified translations or voice performances. A willing adult can read just the first two sentences or the full piece, stop at the child's request, use usual communication support, or substitute the matching written source. No autoplay/music/effects, imitated child or cultural voice, forced eye contact or a recorded reply. The narrator supplies an invitation, not a held answer or an own child contribution.
N41 · The message doors
“Here's a little message. Is it telling us what might happen, what someone recorded, or what they plan to do? Let's choose just one sentence. You can point, tell me, sign, use your usual words, or let me move a label for you. I'll read the whole sentence again if you want. A forecast can help us plan. It doesn't turn a possible thing into something that already happened. Which message would you like to try? We can finish after that one.”
N42 · Two ways for a plan to work
“Your story can have a spare door. If the later note says rain was recorded, you might choose one indoor picture. If it doesn't, you might choose another. You can keep your favourite either way too. Before we hear the later note, would you like to keep a little idea about it? I can write your exact words. We won't change those words afterwards. A new clue might fit your idea or differ from it. Both can help us think. You can pass or stop.”
N43 · The little tags matter
“This message has a place and a time. Our job has a place and a time too. Let's see whether they fit the question we chose. When a forecast was made can be different from the time it talks about. I'll read those tags; this isn't a clock or spelling test. The other message might still help another question. What one detail would you ask its maker? We can leave a missing answer open.”
N44 · One notice is enough
“Would you like the complete paper window story, a description, or an already suitable small view your grown-up has selected? We can keep it on paper. No trip or big weather hunt. Choose one clue or question. If your helper describes it, we will say that. If you actually notice it too, we will say that separately. You can tell me what to mark. The next-look space can stay empty. One useful notice, or choosing to finish, is enough.”
N45 · Your tiny weather radio
“You have a reader with a small question. Which clue would help them? Tell them which source it came from, and what it says about that story place and time. A forecast can say something might happen. Your plan can have room to change. You don't need a big speech or a recording. A few words, a sign, a picture or your usual way to communicate can do the job. What should the reader still check? Let's keep that question.”
N46 · Earlier and later
“Here is the earlier note. Would you like to keep an idea before we hear the later one? Your idea can be unsure. Now, if you're ready, we can hear the new note and look at just the feature it describes. What changed? What stayed the same? We won't add a temperature or cause that nobody recorded. A character's reported choice and your own possible choice can have different labels. What could another useful note tell us?”
N47 · The gap gets a place
“An organiser can help a reader see your clue. A table, a paper path, a spoken sequence or a helper's marks can all work. Let's choose the one you want. If part of the day wasn't recorded, it gets a gap. That isn't the same as no rain. We won't make a result to fill it. Which relation can these little notes show? Which question is still open? You can finish without doing every row.”
N48 · Old notes, careful ideas
“These notes cover just the times and places they name. Something can repeat there without telling us every future day. A real station's past information is another kind of clue, and your grown-up can check it if they want. You don't have to calculate anything or visit a website. What could the old clue help us wonder about? What would we still need to know about today? A new note can differ. Our earlier notes don't have to disappear.”
N49 · Compare for your question
“Could both reports fit? Let's read what each person described and which time they used. For a daily-change question, different times can be the point. For agreement about one view at one time, we need a matching view and time. We don't have to invent a mistake. A useful question can help us decide. Whose looking was it, and whose words are we using? I'll help with the labels; your explanation can stay your own.”
N50 · Your desk, your useful finish
“Choose one job for your little weather desk. Keep a clue, make a plan, answer a reader or save a question. We can use the complete story or a genuine ordinary note your grown-up has checked. A later result can stay empty if we don't have it. Nobody has to go outside or fill every space. Would you keep this plan, change it, ask something or finish? A short private message that says what it knows can be a useful finished thing.”
