## H10 · Keep a question for later—or finish

**Complete source:** Original fiction. A child-character dictates “Would one small pull bring the paper picture toward my reading place?” A helper writes those exact words. No pull has been performed and no result or reply is provided. The child-character finishes for now.

**Own invitation:** What has actually been recorded? Choose whether you want a next question, a drawing, or to finish.

**Wanted practical offer:** A single wanted question or a quiet drawing is useful. There is no requirement to test it, fill four boxes or return it. Actual offers need the ordinary adult setup and stop choice.

**Complete alternative and access:** Use speech, sign, AAC, pointing, a neutral scribe or no written record. Tell adults which words are the child’s and which are the helper’s.

**Notice and next:** A recorded question is not a completed investigation. Finishing now preserves the possibility of choosing differently later.
