Thirty concrete switchable… | Year 1 English · T1 W7–8 · Learner Cards

All open to everyone. Same selected meaning/composition goal; phonics evidence requires actual appropriate print access/attempt on any route. Adult reading/letter supply/scribing does not prove independent decoding, encoding or handwriting. Setup. AAC means augmentative and alternative communication. No diagnosis, fixed learning style or compulsory voice/touch/body range.

Goal: Choose a character and one imagined event, then create a short own recount.

A · Make with available tools: Tell your own event, then make one picture/sentence.
B · Exact child direction: Choose exact who/action wording for adult scribing; read eligible print separately.
C · Established communication/access: Give an oral/AAC event or direct a picture; actual oral text versus writing is named.

Day 32 · Who did what?

Goal: Make a simple sentence communicate one complete imagined event.

A · Make with available tools: Write/type one complete who-did-what sentence, then reread.
B · Exact child direction: Direct the exact event sentence and one boundary; adult physical spelling/writing is named.
C · Established communication/access: Use person/action choices to compose, then exact readback; no fixed three-word template.

Day 35 · Fresh E: a message and your idea

Goal: Gather separate new print, listening and own-composition evidence without rehearsal.

A · Make with available tools: Give first eligible print/meaning/own-text component without examples.
B · Exact child direction: Dictate your own first E sentence; log scribing separately from print attempt.

Goal: Explore how a narrative and a procedure on the same invented topic serve different purposes.

A · Make with available tools: Choose own recount/opinion purpose and create a short text.
