# Tell what the answer actually says · a small home offer

Read the answer. Tell it clearly. Put your new idea in a different sentence.

## Before you begin

The complete matched C source travels with this offer; an adult can read it. It is ordinary taught material, not an unseen case.

## First adult words

1. Use a supplied fictional response to write a tiny ‘here is what they chose’ note. An optional real answer can be used with permission; no names need be recorded.

2. Read the matched fictional source together. Ask which reader or character the child wants to help. Use the child direction: ‘Read the answer. Tell it clearly. Put your new idea in a different sentence.’

3. Offer scrap paper, objects, pointing, speech/sign or exact dictation. Stop after one useful small piece; no class workbook or internet is required.

## Later adult words

1. Invite the child to show one part and explain it using the source. If useful, ask the supplied reader question or reread the relevant source detail.

2. Look for an accurate choice and supplied reason, and a signalled new suggestion. Do not require the adult’s model wording or invent a factual property for the item.

3. If you supply a word, answer, model or pen work, say so in a note. Keep the piece private unless you and the child choose a permitted reader. This offer is not an independent assessment by itself.

## Optional extra

Return to the second matched ordinary source C04 for the same day's purpose, introducing its full source first. Do not quietly switch to a different day or held case.

## Time

5–15 minutes suggested, unpiloted; stop, shorten or resume.
