Choose your strongest example and share it your way · a small home offer

Pick one piece. Tell what it helps someone do. Show one choice you made.

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. Let your child show one chosen piece, or keep it private and answer the supplied reader question. Ask ‘What would help someone use this?’ rather than demanding a performance.

2. Read the matched fictional source together. Ask which reader or character the child wants to help. Use the child direction: ‘Pick one piece. Tell what it helps someone do. Show one choice you made.’

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. Judge the chosen work’s usefulness and supported explanation. Do not reward number of pages, public confidence or disclosure of private experiences.

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 C20 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.
