Returned, not played again
An ordinary teaching idea. The example below is made up; your own work can stay private.
Have a go
- Read the return account.
- Show or tell the action it actually supplies.
- Keep second play unknown, then make an own proposed return instruction if useful.
Example and reasoning
A fictional operator returns a broad cue to its labelled waiting place after one ordinary use. The account gives no second play. Ask which action occurred and which later result is unknown. Resetting happened in the fiction; successful replay did not become known. Next help: demonstrate a different unrelated reset step without announcing a new success.
Grown-up help
Offer speech, sign, AAC, pointing, drawing, faithful dictation, usual home-language support when competent, private work, pause, rest or finish. Ask one part at a time and keep its meaning. No partner, winner, score, time limit or fixed response length is required. Use only locally suitable broad whole paper/card, a checked marking tool and a stable comfortable table. A helper may act exactly as directed; keep the child's idea and the actual operator's action separate. Record an actual event only when it happened. A missing record can mean unknown; it does not establish that no action happened. A supplied story remains fiction.
Show the worked reasoning after an offered own idea where useful. This context is not a held first/later source.
