Who is this for? What does it help them do? Show one clue.
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
-
Use the two pretend garden texts to choose the route note for a visitor finding the seed table, or the snail story for a reader wanting a funny character event. Ask the child to show one clue from the supplied text. No online search is needed.
-
Read the matched fictional source together. Ask which reader or character the child wants to help. Use the child direction: ‘Who is this for? What does it help them do? Show one clue.’
-
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
-
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.
-
Notice an audience-purpose match and a specific clue. An extending image adds or clarifies meaning; it is not simply a decorative picture.
-
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 C12 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.
