# Optional home start · Day 24 · Make the picture and words help each other

Five minutes or less; stop sooner if needed. No purchase, printing, device, recording, public post or home completion is required.

## Three small steps

1. Draw or describe an invented object.

2. Add a caption that names one feature.

3. Ask what the words add and what the drawing adds. An adult can describe the image aloud; no upload is needed.

## Tailor it

Choose paper, familiar speech/sign, typed words, pointing or your child’s communication system. Use an adult-read source, an invented example or a familiar safe object already visible. No touch or disclosure is required. A question and a pass are both welcome.
