# Two ways to introduce the same fictional club

Original fictional report and invitation

Organiser’s information
The made-up Paper Story Club has a box of twelve blank cards and four pencils. Its practice guide offers a solo route and a shared route. No attendance record, reader survey or trial result is supplied. A visitor can choose a route after reading the guide.

One member’s invitation
I think the Paper Story Club sounds brilliant because I like turning ordinary objects into characters. In my view, the solo route would suit me when I want quiet thinking time. Would you like to try an invented story? You can choose your route.

The report tells us what the fictional information lists. The member gives a preference and a reason. “Everyone will love it” would need evidence the texts do not supply. A report may accurately report someone’s attributed opinion; that does not make the opinion an established outcome.

## Grown-up help

The club, counts and member are invented. The second paragraph is a character’s preference, not proof of enjoyment, access or effectiveness.

These are shared texts, not controlled decodables. Use a separately matched school-selected passage for independent reading. All example people and clubs are invented except the explicitly cited general weather facts.
