Day 26 · Two optional extras
The core stands alone. Choose one extra for about 8–12 minutes, or continue a draft at a comfortable pace.
Time-word swap
Change an invented “is” sentence to “was” and “may be”. Explain how the claim changes, not just the verb.
Read a current local source with an adult
Optional: an adult selects an official dated local notice or forecast, checks place/time/update and reads it. Name its purpose and one uncertainty. Stay indoors; do not use this English activity for weather decisions or copy restricted maps/data into the resource.
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.
