These are invented teaching texts, not a real study, school record, volunteer testimony, product comparison or dataset. The numbers are constructed to make method, report structure and omissions visible. No identifiable child or adult data appear. A learner may read selectable text, hear an exact reading, use Braille or mark a local copy. An exact reading supports comprehension but does not establish independent print decoding. See the teacher sequence for scope and the source ledger for rights.
Text A The paper index question and method log
An imagined archive designer asks: “For the same paper search prompts, which of two drawn index layouts uses fewer instructed page turns?” Layout A puts a short tab on every page. Layout B groups pages under letter tabs. The author drew six search routes for each layout, wrote the same six target words on two copies of a paper map, and constructed turn counts by tracing the drawn arrows. The unit is instructed page turns per scripted search route, not seconds, effort or a person's reading experience. No volunteer tried either design. No order was randomised. The sixth B route has no legible ending on the fictional sheet, so only five paired routes can be compared without inventing a value.
| Scripted search route | Layout A turns | Layout B turns | Can this pair be compared? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 | 4 | Yes |
| 2 | 5 | 3 | Yes |
| 3 | 7 | 5 | Yes |
| 4 | 4 | 4 | Yes |
| 5 | 8 | 6 | Yes |
| 6 | 5 | missing end | No; do not replace the missing B count with zero |
For the five complete pairs, A has 30 turns in total and B has 22: averages of 6.0 and 4.4 instructed turns respectively. The arithmetic difference is 1.6 instructed turns per complete paired route in this drawing. Each of the first five B counts is at most its matching A count, including one tie. The comparison does not tell us whether real readers would find B faster, easier or accessible. The missing sixth pair and lack of a human trial remain visible.
Text B The quick archive notice
NEW TABS ARE FASTER FOR EVERYONE. Six routes prove it: the letter-tab layout saves 1.6 turns every time. There is no reason to keep the old arrangement. We should order new tabs today.
The speaker and archive are fictional. Read the exact nouns and quantifiers. The constructed source measured no speed, includes only five complete pairs, and has one tie. It contains no purchasing evidence. The notice is a text to examine, not a recommendation.
Text C A scoped method explanation
Question and construction. I compared two drawn index layouts using six matching paper search prompts. I traced each route and counted the number of instructed page turns. No person used the layouts, and the order was not randomised. Because the sixth B route did not end legibly, I kept that pair separate rather than counting it as zero.
Result and limit. Across the five complete pairs, layout A totals 30 instructed turns and B totals 22, an average of 6.0 and 4.4 per paired route. In this paper drawing, B needs 1.6 fewer instructed turns on average for the complete pairs. This does not show that B is faster or easier for actual readers. A live access check and a clearer sixth route would be separate next steps.
Text D The pencil beside the blank line
The archive wall was paper, not old stone: three rows of index cards pinned above a desk that no one had used. Mara was proud of the clean arrows she had drawn from tab to target word. On five routes the letter tabs used fewer or equal instructed page turns. Her draft notice called it a victory.
Ivo stood beside the sixth route. It ended in a pale pencil loop before the final card. “The line stops here,” he said.
“It is one line.” Mara held the notice against the wall. People would see the heading from the doorway. They might finally ask the group to build a real index.
“It is also the line we cannot count.”
Mara reached for a rubber, then did not rub anything out. She could write five complete pairs under the heading. She could also keep the word faster at the top and hope readers would not ask what the arrows measured. She knew the difference: a drawn route had no tired hands, no unfamiliar alphabet and no person trying to find a page.
Ivo lifted the blank-ended card, not to hide it but to bring it beside the others. “If the missing end changed our answer, would we want to know?”
Mara did not answer him. She wrote a second heading, smaller than the first: Fewer instructed turns in five paper routes. She moved it up until it was the first thing a reader would meet. The card with the blank line stayed visible. The group could still ask to test the index. Their reason would be a question rather than a promise.
This original short scene invites more than one defensible reading of Mara and Ivo. Do not treat it as a report of real people or as proof of what any reader would do.
Text E Fictional artefact-tag register
A made-up studio sorts 36 paper artefact tags, not people. Each tag has a recorded submission route: drawer drop, web form, or route unreadable. A second field says whether the imagined catalogue entry was finished same day or later. The route-unreadable tags have a recorded finish status; only their route is unclear. No real form, item, studio, person or processing time was observed.
| Recorded tag route | Same day | Later | Row total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drawer drop | 12 | 6 | 18 |
| Web form | 9 | 3 | 12 |
| Route unreadable | 1 | 5 | 6 |
| All tags | 22 | 14 | 36 |
Among 30 tags with a legible route, 21 are marked same day (21/30 = 70%). Among all 36 tags, 22 are marked same day (22/36 ≈ 61.1%). The difference comes from which tags are included. These are constructed labels, not a real service rate. The table cannot tell us whether route caused the finish status, why a route was unreadable or what any person experienced.
Text F Report with a narrow frame
A clear majority. The invented register records 12 same-day drawer-drop tags and 9 same-day web-form tags. That is 21 of the 30 tags with a legible route, or 70%. For the two named routes, a majority is marked same day.
The report's title does not name a reference group, while its first paragraph selects only the named routes. A note at the end reads: “Six route-unreadable tags are omitted from this percentage.” Nothing in this report proves that either route caused a faster finish. Ask what a reader would infer if the end note were removed or placed where it could not be found.
Text G Report with the full register in view
Twenty-two of thirty-six invented tags are marked same day. The register includes 18 drawer-drop, 12 web-form and 6 route-unreadable tags. Its same-day total is 22 of 36, about 61.1%. The 70% figure in the other report describes only the 30 tags whose routes can be read; it is not the percentage for all tags.
The route-unreadable row belongs in the reported total because those six tags have a finish status. Their route label remains unknown. The table says nothing about a cause, an actual studio's performance or the people who might use one route. A next inquiry could check how route labels were recorded before comparing a real service, if authorised and privacy safe.
