Useful outcome

Retain a usable handover and sample matched later components only after intervening targeted teaching/exposure review.

Before you start

Read Preparation, choose suitable available broad parts or a no-object route, and select C19 / C20 if useful. Keep first ideas before examples.

The session

  1. Check what was actually taught after each selected first component. Choose the matching later A/B source where appropriate; C/D later may be offered beyond this fortnight.
  2. Read the complete later source neutrally. Use its matching empty own spaces and usual access, saving originals before later hints.
  3. Choose a mechanism below for ordinary handover after capture. A new source component and the child's ordinary game are separate.
  4. Record actual making/action/help/result only where seen or faithfully attributed. Keep any private/unshared plan useful without invented success.
  5. Give precise next teaching with a complete unrelated source. Compare only actually evidenced components and conditions; no calibrated difficulty, causal growth or full-year attainment claim.
  6. Let the child choose to keep the guide, play privately, ask a new question, rest or return. Adult evidence/exposure notes stay behind help/staff doors.

Notice and teach next

Contexts: C19 entirely new quiet game plan; C20 child's design and adult assembly separately named. Observe: exact selected components and practical contribution when actually offered. Next teaching: use the specific later source guide or one own missing step; do not require every family as a completion gate.

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.

Save an offered first idea before showing a worked example or a key. Record faithful access help separately from content/design help. Select only components actually taught and review exposure; the public forms are neither secure nor calibrated. Actual child making requires the child's own observed suitable action; adult manufacture is the adult's contribution. Actual familiar exploration is separate from interpreting a new fictional source. Never use response speed, handwriting, touch, compliance, sociability or length as design quality. These are original formative criteria, not official QCAA AP/MC/WW/EX/BA grading.
