0–3 · own start: “Your topic can do a different job today. Which job?” Welcome a chosen topic, one useful event/detail and private response.
3–8 · rich source / language: Read one relevant short portion of Story K or Text L, chosen after the child task starts. Compare only what helps the chosen purpose. Familiar intended reader can be self, a willing family member or imaginary reader; no actual response is presumed.
8–12 · print and word attention: Offer verbs drifted / curled for a narrative, and positions above / attached for information. Child may choose plain words. Model a two-syllable word such as harbour through adult reading; no new code assumed. 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: Develop the second text on the same chosen topic: narrative after information or information after narrative. Use an appropriate structure, noun/verb group or complete joined ideas if useful. Persuasive purpose can be an optional third choice, not an all-three quota.
22–25 · read back / useful next step: Distinct actual purpose/form and a useful vocabulary/structure choice; own source detail limits. 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.
