# Optional home start · Day 30 · A fresh source check and next steps

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

## Three small steps

1. Choose an earlier invented note pair after the check.

2. Ask what a reader still needs to know.

3. Celebrate a useful question or choose to stop. Do not rehearse reserved words or fresh check answers.

## 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.
