# N25 · The library label and a future pocket

**A small start:** Propose a useful source-keeping step. Keep what happened honest.

## Complete supplied source

Original fiction. Library keeper’s note says a source label was written and placed beside a pretend book entry. A pocket to keep the original source card is planned but unmade. A reader looked at the entry, but no reply or finding result is recorded. No real book service or booking is promised.

## 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 written/placed/planned/looked as separate acts. Let the child suggest one modest source-connected proposal, then say whether it is already made or tried.

**One worked possibility, after an own attempt or if wanted:** The label is made and placed. The pocket is planned/unmade. Making a pocket or retaining the source card with its label could be a useful future step. A reader looked, but that does not prove finding or understanding; no benefit has been established.

**What stays unknown:** Pocket completion and reader outcome remain unknown.

**Next teaching:** If wanted, try a child-chosen source arrangement with broad paper. Record the actual child/adult work, and only a willing reader’s actual reply; a completed label can still have no recorded trial result.

**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.
