0–3 · own start: “What would help someone find out about YOUR topic?” Welcome a chosen topic, one useful event/detail and private response.
3–8 · rich source / language: Read Text L in sections. Locate Boat and flag / Cloud and bridge. Explain each section groups related details; it does not narrate the story voyage. Adult reads headings if needed.
8–12 · print and word attention: Compare “boat” with “one tall mast”; “is attached” is a verb group. Explain how an article/adjective expands a noun group and the helping word plus verb expresses action/state. No demand to memorise labels before using language. Use one locally selected practice card for today, except held turns use their private eligible component. Blend then reread a useful phrase and check meaning; model correction only after a first reading. Unknown code is adult-read or taught separately. A child’s own attempted spelling is not silently corrected into independent evidence.
12–22 · make / choose: Select a known detail of your own picture, imagined design or permitted existing source. Put it under a child-chosen heading or clear grouped part. Label invented-world information as about that invention, not a real-world claim.
22–25 · read back / useful next step: Purposeful grouping and a source-supported/clearly invented-world detail; actual own text. Keep one brief exact phrase/picture note plus help if needed. Ask “What would help next?” Invite a child question. No mandatory sharing, perfect page, fixed amount or whole-class component checklist.
