A small start: Which cue is only planned? Which is made? What happened in the trial?
Complete supplied source
Original fiction. Design note says a “cups first” kitchen cue is proposed but not drawn. Making note says a different “plates first” cue has been drawn on paper, but no reader has tried it. Trial note says a helper tried finding “spoons” on a third cue; the result was not entered. These are three different cues, not successive stages of one cue.
Choose your way
Tell it, sign, use AAC, point to the words, make broad marks or direct a helper. Two reachable paper spaces are enough if wanted. Start with one clue, keep it private, rest, pass or stop. A helper can read dates or source names neutrally and write the child’s exact chosen words; record any supplied idea separately. These are choices, not fixed learning styles or diagnostic labels.
Grown-up help · teach, model and another useful step
**Teacher invitation:** Keep three labelled spaces or a three-part spoken account. Read exact action/status words; make no invisible step between records. If wanted, model one contrast after the child’s choice. **One worked possibility, after an own attempt or if wanted:** “Cups first” is proposed/unmade. “Plates first” is made/untried. The third cue has an actual recorded find attempt, but outcome is unknown. Drawn is not shown-to-work; no result does not erase the recorded attempt. **What stays unknown:** No outcome for the trial and no trial for plates first are supplied. **Next teaching:** Choose one cue and propose a wanted next step, such as making the proposed cue or inviting a willing reader to find an entry on the made cue. Keep that suggestion future until it actually happens. **Keep a useful trace if needed:** chosen source/question, exact child meaning, actual helper reading/writing/moving/operation, content help and one useful next step. Missing or unoffered evidence is not a failure; a fictional action is not the child’s performance. There is no length, handwriting, speed or public-sharing requirement.More small jobs · Ordinary sources · Sources and reuse.
