Before the learner clock

Use existing approved broad paper/tool or exact child-directed adult making; no purchase, actual game board, food, container entry, costume/body prop, child movement, outdoor route, live animal, sharp/new/improvised tool or messy contact. Adult owns any cutting/preparation, stability and cleanup. No physical making is needed for oral language; actual drawing/typing/scribing only when locally suitable. A few minutes of preparation is an unmeasured estimate, not supplied timing evidence.

Choose one rich source paragraph and one daily route. Print none or one useful page. Put held E/F/key away before ordinary work.
Check the school's actual taught sequence and each learner's observed entry point. Select words/lines with the runnable local selector; a/is need explicit familiar-word teaching, and ck is optional only if taught. No next grapheme is prescribed. A matching declaration proves only the supplied line uses that declared code; it does not prove mastery, pronunciation, fluency, comprehension or classroom use.
If no line fits, teach one missing correspondence with school materials and keep adult-read literature/oral composition open. Do not quietly read the line for the child then call it independent reading. For a locally substituted scored line/word, key and audit it before use; preserve actual first attempt, prior exposure and support.
Read every rich source word aloud or provide its exact established language/access form. No rich paragraph is assigned as independent decodable print. Explain vocabulary in short parts without demanding full-story memory. Phoneme awareness, print blending, encoding, heard meaning, composition, editing and handwriting are different observations.

Complete access and evidence

Voice/sign/gesture/AAC (augmentative and alternative communication), keyboard, enlarged/high-contrast print, existing suitable tactile/Braille print, exact neutral descriptions and scribing are available to everyone. Choose without diagnosis or learning-style labels. An actual spelling selection can show grapheme choice while adult physical writing remains disclosed. A sound choice/sequence can show phoneme segmentation without forced speech. If adult supplies sounds/letters, note that support; do not infer the unsampled skill.

Child authors an actual oral recount, actual drawing-plus-language text, typed/written text or exact adult-scribed text. An unwritten proposed text is PLAN ONLY; oral-only actual text is ORAL TEXT, NOT WRITTEN. Adult scribing does not prove child handwriting or independent spelling. A source read by an adult is LISTENING/ATTRIBUTED ACCESS, NOT INDEPENDENT DECODING. A welcomed fixed tactile analogue of an illustration represents its described positions; it supplies neither direct vision nor fictional real-game evidence. No compulsory mental visualisation, touch, eye contact, voice, body range, handwriting, named feeling, title or public sharing.

All characters/games/results in sources are fiction. An actual child imaginary story is a real authored text; its events need not have occurred. An actual willing listener's freely given reply is separate from intended meaning and fictional/model reply. Private/no-listener work remains useful. The selector accepts no learner identifiers; use two school teaching lists only. No child name/location/family/health/cultural disclosure, photo/audio/video/upload or returned home form. Keep actual work/support privately under school policy; no outside knowledge or translation without appropriate rights/authority and qualified review.

One sampled notice

Sample one or two useful components, not full forms daily: date/card/code declaration and actual print attempt/support; heard-source response; child wording/purpose and actual form/maker/spelling help; actual reread/keep/edit; optional real interaction only if it happened; next teaching. First/later check responses stay separate. More components can follow in another short sitting. Original SubjectNest prose and vector art © NeuroForgeIO Pty Ltd 2026, CC BY 4.0.
