Day 55 — Keep one first source response
Child invitation: “Here's a new little job. Show what you think; we can do one part.”
Prepare: teacher-selected complete first source, neutral own four-component response, exact prerequisite/exposure record and separate staff criteria. The source and pictures must be available in full. Do not assume that ordinary guide practice makes any source unseen or a child independently print-ready.
Teach/capture: select only components actually relevant and eligible. Offer neutral adult reading or exact scribing when wanted, naming that help. Capture the child's own response, including partial/declined/not observed. Keep models and criteria out of this first attempt. Use one specific next teaching activity once capture ends.
Three routes: independently matched source and own marks; neutral adult-read source and usual communication; short separated components with exact child-directed scribing. These are different evidence conditions, not equivalent reading scores.
Notice and next: use the relevant component's complete criterion/next activity, not an average or a generic “try again”. A child's idea may be interesting even when it does not yet answer the offered source question.
Tiny home offer: choose any ordinary story/guide for enjoyment. Do not send held keys or a required first/later rehearsal home.
Six useful stages
Welcome: Offer the complete short child invitation above; quietly watching, pausing, private work and switching route are valid.
Read together: Read/hear the complete named source and full alternative. Enjoy meaning before task questions. Adult reading supplies access, not independent decoding.
Model: Use the complete ordinary contrast in the lesson, keeping the model different from own work. On capture days read only neutral source/prompts and finish capture before staff examples.
Own try: Follow one of the three complete purpose-preserving routes above. Start with genuinely empty space; an adult records exact child choices and names support.
Notice: Use the complete notice/next section above and record actual help, source/key exposure, mode and component. No speed, neatness or total-box score.
Keep or next: Use the complete tiny home invitation if wanted, or keep privately/stop. No printer, upload, returned evidence or earlier draft is compulsory.
Sources: selected first family
Useful output: one eligible own first response
Small start: One sentence, one clue, one diagram relation or one offered component can be enough; use a fresh empty page if prior work is unavailable.
Print: Complete conditional retrieval and exposure contract in PRINT-ACCESS.md; never label a rich source decodable by Year2 alone.
Timing: 20–35 minutes is unpiloted adult planning advice, not a timer or daily allocation.
