# NEXT04 · Towel marks

## Access

The meaning stays the same through broad cards, usual communication, drawing or faithful scribing. One response is enough; there is no motor-speed, handwriting, speech, hearing, sight, device or disclosure quota.

## Eligibility and help

Record the actual teaching opportunity and help. A seen example is practice. A fresh held later offer stays separate and unseen. Do not infer actual learner device use or own contribution from a fictional response.

## Next decision

If the stated relation remains unclear, reread this complete source and simplify to one relation. If it is clear, invite a different own harmless example or stop. Neither choice establishes a grade or gain.

## Notice

Makes an explicit original mark-to-towel relation.

## Try your own idea first

Invent another harmless mark for the towel drawing. Explain it.

## Role

Full different fictional teaching situation after this particular component; not a held assessment or a filled own response.

## Teaching moves

1. Present the complete new towel marks source. Read its exact relations and limits neutrally. Keep any staff answer covered; place broad labelled cards or usual communication support within reach.

2. Ask: Invent another harmless mark for the towel drawing. Explain it. Let the child give one own response, point, arrange a card, draw or direct a faithful scribe. Ask what source detail helped; record their actual words and help rather than correcting motor production.

3. After the attempt, show this worked reasoning: Two dots could name the towel if the child explains that relation; DRY is not compulsory. Compare it with the child’s source relation. Invite one different harmless own example or a second attempt only if useful; keep any own space blank until the child chooses.

## Title

Towel marks

## Complete source

A fresh pretend cupboard has a towel drawing keyed DRY. The key says DRY names this towel picture in our game. A sock drawing is separate and unkeyed.

## Reasoning after an attempt

Two dots could name the towel if the child explains that relation; DRY is not compulsory.
