Teacher draft, 29 September 2026. Week 37 asks a clear question and reads a small, original fictional paper-card inventory without turning it into a claim about children's preferences. Week 38 edits a statement about two invented plant drawings so the words say only what the source shows, then plans an optional school-approved real observation. The drawings are rehearsal sources, not local species or evidence that a living thing actually grew.
Start with ten timed 25-minute lessons, complete original sources, thirty same-target learner routes, twenty worked extra examples, two fresh teacher-held checks with a separate key, and five original A4 printables: shape inventory SVG / PDF, question cards SVG / PDF, data report mat SVG / PDF, mock plant drawings SVG / PDF, fact/check/edit mat SVG / PDF. Exact text, tactile and adult-directed equivalents allow all core tasks on paper without a device, printer, audio cue or outdoor visit.
Set up in five minutes: Adult reads the day's source, places broad paper category/leaf cards or reads their linear descriptions, and gives a marker or AAC/pointing option. The child can choose a context and communication route, including quiet/private sharing. If a real local investigation is chosen, the teacher first approves the site/material/child access, records date and what was actually seen, and permits a pass. No child survey, personal preference, image upload, living-thing handling or family disclosure is required. Adult-read rich text supports listening/viewing; optional child print is only shown at the individual's explicitly taught grapheme–sound point. Keep Days 185/190 check text and keys private until the first independent response is recorded.
