# Day 30 · Two optional extras

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

## After collection: portfolio path

Pick one earlier original draft and a revision. Explain a precise change for a reader and one next goal; the learner keeps their work private.

## After collection: next fortnight seed

Choose a new topic for a story, information text or guide. List a question, a possible original character and one source that an adult could check. Planning is not a verified fact or completed text.

## 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.
