Teacher draft, 29 September 2026. Week 35 asks how people can share a place fairly, using a fictional paper-mat disagreement to practise a request, reason, listening and a checkable proposal. Week 36 asks how to teach someone a shape or repeating pattern with directions the listener can follow and help improve. Neither week asks a child to describe a private home conflict, disclose access needs or perform for a public audience.

Begin with ten timed 25-minute lessons, complete original adult-read sources, thirty same-target learner choices and twenty worked extra examples. Keep fresh Days 175/180 checks and separate keys covered until use. Five original A4 SVG/PDF aids are ready: shared-mat story, fair-plan mat, pattern/shape source cards, instruction strip, and listener/repair record. Each has an exact oral, text and broad tactile route.

Set up in five minutes: Read the named source; lay out broad paper tokens and the relevant A4 source/mat; offer point, sign, AAC, private speech, drawing, child-directed scribing or optional taught print. Paper substitutes for any real game, room or device. A child may pass on touch or role-play. On Day 174 or 179, ask a consenting listener what they understood and preserve the first and revised version. Adult-read rich text is listening/viewing evidence, not independent decoding; child-print strips and fresh CVC checks occur only at each child's taught grapheme–sound point.
