Goal: Read a locally matched line in phrases and connect it to its exact meaning.

Selected scope: AC9E1LY04 / AC9E1LY05 / AC9E1LY06 plus day-specific language/interaction/story/code components in crosswalk. Rich text is adult-read; independent print only after actual local match.

  1. A little own moment · 3 min. “Tell a funny event for today’s game story.” Choose an event or keep an available text; a short thought starts the session without any equipment.

  2. Read the punctuation · 4 min. Use eligible Day 37 print. Adult models one known sentence to its boundary, then rereads smoothly without a race. Child independently attempts and identifies one exact meaning; unsupported word guessing is not decoding.

  3. Words for the story · 5 min. Read Text H remaining steps and ending. Discuss recount versus next-look idea: tell what the fictional story says happened, or mark a new event as yours. Ask one question about a clue or destination, without treating a pretend-game note as proof of a real listener’s success.

  4. Make one connected idea · 7 min. Write/type/direct a short own sentence or two wanted sentences for an imagined event. Child uses a chosen topic word such as token, clue or destination if useful; adult spells unfamiliar rich words openly. A wordless drawing can support oral meaning, not automatically independent spelling.

  5. Reread with meaning · 4 min. Child/neutral adult reads back actual own wording in the available form. “Does that tell your event?” Keep or change one word/stop. Print phrasing evidence only comes from the actual child reading component.

  6. Plan the next short try · 2 min. A sampled decoding error can lead to one grapheme lesson; a meaning mismatch to one exact reread. No rate, accent, voice-volume or handwriting ranking.

Sample: one useful actual component, support and next teaching invitation; no whole-row score or invented player/listener/learner result.
