# N23 · One paper-hat account

**A small start:** Keep the useful clue. Repair the “every household” caption.

## Complete supplied source

Original fiction. One household account says Timo made a plain paper hat for pretend play in2010. The display caption says “Every household made this hat.” No other household accounts, identity links or reader replies are supplied. The hat is a generic invented paper shape, not a cultural practice or real family task.

## 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.

**Teacher invitation:** Read account and caption as two different claims. Invite a narrow replacement that retains source/name/date. It can be spoken, signed, marked or child-directed writing.

**One worked possibility, after an own attempt or if wanted:** “One household account says Timo made a paper hat in2010” preserves the supported clue. This source cannot establish every household made a hat, much less the same hat. “Nobody made hats” would also exceed the record.

**What stays unknown:** Other households, commonness and the learner’s own family history are unknown.

**Next teaching:** Offer a second invented account with a different activity in2010. Ask what both sources allow us to say together; two accounts still do not establish everyone.

**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.
