Make the same job work for a different reader
Day 37 · Make the same job work for a different reader
Compare how two complete guides support different reader purposes or assumed knowledge.
Teacher preparation
Use the full source in the learner’s usual communication route. Choose a small useful product; models are teaching help, not independent evidence. Note actual help, model exposure and source version. This is a sequence day, not a dated class calendar.
Complete source C13
Two complete original guides to the same pretend kit. New-reader guide: “There are two cards. A star mark names the star card. Pick that one if your drawing needs a star.” Familiar-reader guide: “For a star drawing, choose the star card.” Both guide a paper choice; neither reports a reader result.
Both can be useful; fewer words is not always better, and real audience needs are not known from the titles alone.
Complete source C14
Original pretend board guide pair. Maker note: “Mark the empty starting square START. Leave the finishing square without a mark until the group chooses its name.” Player note: “Begin on the square marked START. Ask what the finishing square will be called.” The finishing name has not been chosen.
No final name, winning rule or actual group agreement is supplied.
Six complete teaching moves
1. Read both full C13 guides to the pretend kit. Tell children the job is the same star-card choice; no reader outcome is supplied.
2. Model noticing that one guide introduces the kit and marks while the other assumes knowledge. Avoid treating shorter as inherently better.
3. Read C14’s maker/player pair when useful. Ask which actions differ because the readers have different jobs. Keep the missing finishing name open.
4. Invite a third version for a chosen reader, a spoken explanation or a reason for keeping a supplied version. No real disability or family situation needs to be disclosed.
5. Ask Which bit would you keep or explain for this reader? Note text-supported choices and the actual help supplied.
6. If there is a willing actual reader, ask a small optional understanding question and save the response separately; otherwise keep the audience choice as a plan.
Three meaningful routes
1. Make C13’s star choice clearer for a new reader in your usual mode.
2. Compare C14 maker and player jobs and change one guide for a different paper job.
3. Ask an adult to read both in small parts; select one relevant detail to explain and dictate or show your version.
At a genuinely taught word point
At a taught point, discuss read + er and play + er as person words. Distinguish word-part meaning from independent reading performance.
Observe a useful contribution
A chosen wording or explanation responds to a named reader purpose or supplied difference in knowledge.
Next teaching
Return to the same whole job and ask what this reader needs before using a short guide.
Curriculum opportunity

These are partial or conditional opportunities. Adult-read sources do not establish independent reading, handwriting or spelling. Use the full curriculum account and actual school folio.
