# Day 21 · Two optional extras

The core stands alone. Choose one extra for about 8–12 minutes, or continue a draft at a comfortable pace.

## Text swap

Turn “First, name your imaginary shop” into a story opening. Compare what changes in the language, not just the title.

## Reader choice card

Make a three-heading card for Story, Guide and Poem. Add one original clue under each; use spoken headings instead of drawing if preferred.

## Grown-up help

Choose one context and switch if it does not fit. You can read or hear the text, point, type, sign, use AAC, direct an adult’s drawing or dictate your exact words. Quiet/private work and rest are available. Listening, self-reading, planning, actual trying and actual presenting are different useful records. A grown-up can remove access barriers without choosing your ideas. No device, printer, purchase, account, recording or public upload is required. Pair any longer block with school-selected independent reading at the learner’s taught point. Extension adds challenge, not a barrier to the core.
