Aim: use temporal and conditional connectives, and join a dependent clause to a complete clause without turning a possibility into an observed fact. Prepare: Card B/C, connective strips first, next, if, because; word bank. Codes: AC9E4LA04, AC9E4LA06, AC9E4LY06, AC9E4LY09, AC9E4LY10.
- Retrieve · 2 min. Ask what B tells the reader to do first. Key: fold a scrap once;
first/number 1 marks order. - Model · 5 min. Write “The drawing cannot prove access because it has no measurements.” Cover the
becauseclause: the first clause stands alone; the second depends on it. Then write “If a reader cannot locate the feature, point to its label.”Ifmakes a condition, not a report that a real reader failed. Clap/readre-visionand connect the basevisionto “seeing again”; explain spelling/meaning only if this pattern is in the learner's taught sequence. - Guide · 6 min. Sort
first/nextas sequence andif/becauseas condition/reason. Build “We need a question because the model has no scale.” Ask which idea comes from Card A and which is a next step. Repair “Everyone can use the path because a dotted line is drawn” to “We cannot tell who can use it because the path is not measured.” - Choose · 7 min. Day 14 learner route: two connected sentences in a selected life domain, one supported and one conditional. Child may arrange sentence cards, dictate or type. Look for meaning before punctuation.
- Exit · 3 min. “Did a real reader fail when B says if a reader cannot locate a feature?” Key: no, it is a possible case. Ask child to name the complete clause in their sentence.
- Record · 2 min. Note clause understanding and word-part reading separately; do not infer spelling mastery from copied model words.
