Choose a way

Make and test

Use two scrap cards as the two possible seats. Place the question beside them and try it with a willing person. Moving a card can replace handwriting; the child still chooses the reader and purpose.

Talk, point or dictate

An adult reads the two sources and writes the child’s exact chosen question. Offer a ‘pass’ card. Judge the question’s usefulness separately from speech, eye contact or the adult’s handwriting.

Read and write

Use the short displayed C01 question before the rich adult-read passage. Read only words that match taught knowledge. Write the question, then circle the words that name the choice; independent decoding is observed separately.
