## H02 · A page that comes closer

**Complete source:** Original fiction. A broad paper pretend menu begins beyond a helper’s hand on a clear flat mat. The helper pulls it toward the hand and a drawn reading place, then lets go. The page stops nearer that place. No reader’s reply is supplied.

**Own invitation:** Describe the pull’s direction using the hand and reading place. What would you like to know about the reading job?

**Wanted practical offer:** Use a broad paper picture only. Agree a reachable near place and make one short movement within the surface. Do not use a real drink, hot surface or moving furniture. The child can direct a helper or decline.

**Complete alternative and access:** Point between two pictures or dictate “toward” in the child’s usual communication. Read the source again if wanted; no compulsory left/right vocabulary.

**Notice and next:** A nearer page does not prove it was easy to read. Ask a wanted reader question if useful; leave the unsupplied answer open.
