Day 24 · Two optional extras
The core stands alone. Choose one extra for about 8–12 minutes, or continue a draft at a comfortable pace.
If is not next
Compare “Next, add a name” with “If two names are the same, add a number.” Say what each asks a reader to do; make an original pair.
Small homophone comic
Make an imagined two-line exchange using their and they’re correctly. Point to the meaning clue; an adult may scribe without supplying the word choice.
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.
