Teacher draft, 29 September 2026. These ten original, timed 25-minute lessons pair with the Foundation year sequence: Week 31 asks what a book, sign and screen each do; Week 32 asks how to report an adding or taking-away event accurately. The pack contains five original adult-read sources, thirty same-target learner choices, twenty worked domain swaps, two fresh teacher-held checks, a separate key, and five original A4 printables: book cards, sign, paper screen, three-text comparison mat and event evidence mat, each in SVG and PDF. Exact text and tactile equivalents make both usable without printing or a screen.
Start here, in five minutes: Read the day's script, display or read its named source, take the matching card and a thick marker, and offer a place to point, speak, sign, use AAC, draw or direct an adult. For Week 31, make a paper “screen” with two labelled frames; a device, account, camera, internet connection and real book-return system are unnecessary. For Week 32, use six to ten broad paper counters or a drawn model and check the actual event in the story. Children can choose a quiet/private response. Save the first independent answer and log any read-aloud, prompting or scribing separately.
Print boundary: Adult-read sources are rich, authentic teacher-created texts, not claims of independent child decoding. The short optional child-print pool is checked against each child's explicitly taught grapheme–sound links and local high-frequency words. Read any untaught words aloud and report listening/viewing comprehension separately. Do not infer reading skill from a child guessing a picture. Days 155 and 160 stay covered until administration; after those checks, the learner cards provide different practice.
Curriculum and limits: The crosswalk pins exact ACARA v9 Foundation descriptions to an official workbook and records proposed, partial links. QCAA ACiQ v9 English is the Queensland Prep implementation entry point. Other states and territories require local planning/assessment checks; this pack does not purport to be a state-approved whole-year program. The desk review explains what was and was not tested.
