Use one route after the day's core lesson, and only after the private task on Days 15/20. These extra contexts are fictional. They offer additional examples or a smaller re-teaching step; they are not homework requirements or another scored check. Read aloud or offer screen-readable/large-text/AAC access without confusing heard comprehension with independent print reading. Keep the first independent idea and any prompt.

Day Two fresh examples or activities What to notice, then teach next
11 Library return box: a note says eight returns on one afternoon; an unsigned poster says eight different readers wanted early closing. Sport kit: five paper helmet cards were borrowed, but a poster claims five families approve of a new rule. In each, the counted unit differs from a preference. Ask “Who recorded what?” before judging the poster.
12 Toy-bus timetable: headings ROUTE / TIME / LIMIT; the last line says a sample timetable is not a service promise. Community garden model: headings PURPOSE / OPEN / STILL UNKNOWN; find whether next week is approved. Skim heading → scan term → confirm full sentence. A keyword alone does not answer a promise question.
13 Repair sign: reorder “We should check again / 12 covers made / one session only / ask staff” into message–evidence–limit–next step. Stage prop note: write a new four-sentence explanation with “That result” referring to an exact earlier fact. If “that” has no clear referent, replace it with the named count/source. Keep time and method bounded.
14 Paper parcel: see rule → ask adult → fold parcel sleeve → check label; start with fold and describe the first inference. Model skate wheel: look at sign → ask helper → attach paper wheel → test movement; start with test and say what a later frame changes. A new image order can shape first impression but does not prove a missing event never happened.
15 After check only: take Text A and create a new heading route for a reader who wants the unknowns. Picture route: put Text B's last frame first and explain an initial inference, then reveal captions. Use familiar teaching texts, not the Day 15 stimulus. Follow up only the component the check exposed.
16 Paper-seat queue: “I saw Mara step aside and thought Mara was leaving”; later Mara says she was making room for a cart. Book shelf: “I saw a book moved and thought it was hidden”; later a helper says it was moved to a repair tray. Mark observed movement separately from narrator inference; do not invent a real person's feelings.
17 Transit model: “The waiting line bent like a winding path” versus “The line was long.” Kitchen pretend: “The empty shelf waited for the jars” versus “The shelf was empty.” Explain what picture or mood the figurative phrase adds, then say what is literal. No food preparation is needed.
18 Garden label: expand “sign” into “the wide paper sign beside the model bed” only if source provides those details. Game prop: join “When the paper wheel stopped,” to “the group checked its axle” to make a complete complex sentence. Trace each modifier to a source; remove dependent clause and test whether main clause still stands.
19 Bus stop paper theatre: a first-person narrator mistakes a folded timetable for a hidden message; later a character clarifies it protected the page from wind. Book display: a caption sequence initially hides permission; edit one frame and dialogue line to clarify. Listener should be able to name known action versus guessed motive and explain why revision helps.
20 After check only: invent a different two-voice misunderstanding around a paper flag. Image route: give three ordered frames of a lost-and-found model, then reorder first two and ask about reader inference. Avoid reusing the private story, imagery or object. Choose the next task from the learner's component evidence.

Home option for a time-poor family: One public or invented instruction card is enough. In five minutes, ask “Which line tells you that?” and “What might a different first picture make someone think?” A family can decline; no purchase, app, account, photo, local cultural disclosure or upload is required.
