Target: represent the same data using a documented symbol key; partial AC9TDIFK02. Ready: guide key, A, blank guide board.
- Welcome · 3 min. “Our circle can mean BOOK if we tell the reader.” The meaning belongs to this guide.
- Model · 4 min. Read B's three exact correspondences. Show circle beside the book picture and approved object. It represents BOOK; it is neither a universal book sign nor the physical book.
- Together · 5 min. Read each key entry through the child's available route. Cover the model's key briefly: “What would a new reader need?” Uncover it; do not expect a guess from appearance.
- Child task · 7 min. Child makes or directs A's symbol representation with the key attached. They may choose a different own key on a separate blank board, with three distinct documented meanings and explicit identity labels.
- Notice · 4 min. Preserve the first correspondences. If two symbols have one unexplained meaning, revisit one example and then ask the child to repair their own key. Neat drawing, reading fluency and fine motor control are not the target.
- Close · 2 min. Child chooses a useful title such as “My table guide”. Keep identifying values off this practice guide.
