Teacher copy: This page may include teaching prompts or answer keys. Answer keys in this public library can be viewed by anyone. Give learners a clean prompt, use checks as formative evidence, and change a case locally when prior access matters.
Target/codes: use an original picture and symbol to represent an invented category; AC9TDIFK02 (partial). Prepare:picture/symbol bank, broad blank card.
Preview · 3 min. Revisit that a sign's meaning needs teaching and checking; no official public sign is being copied.
Source · 4 min. Read BOOK/open-book/B, CUP/cup/C, MAT/rectangle/M. Ask what stayed linked in each row.
Model · 5 min. Draw an original thick outline for BOOK and write B; say both stand for the same paper category, not the sound work of decoding.
Child route · 7 min. Day 6 A/B/C make a child-controlled picture/symbol pair for a selected neutral category. An adult can draw exactly what directed.
Check/respond · 4 min. Present a mismatched CUP picture beside B. Ask for the source row that shows a correction. Record the trace, not a guessed sign effect.
Close · 2 min. Ask who the pretend sign is intended to help and what actual understanding remains unknown.
