# Day 28 · Two optional extras

The core stands alone. Choose one extra for about 8–12 minutes, or continue a draft at a comfortable pace.

## Optional longer project

Turn your pair into a two-page zine: one creative page and one useful page. Add title, section labels, your own illustration or description and a small “invented” label where needed. Share privately with a willing reader; no online account/upload required.

## Optional challenge: two readers

Adapt one line for a familiar reader and a reader new to the topic. Explain the extra word you supplied, keeping the main idea unchanged.

## Grown-up help

Choose one context and switch if it does not fit. You can read or hear the text, point, type, sign, use AAC, direct an adult’s drawing or dictate your exact words. Quiet/private work and rest are available. Listening, self-reading, planning, actual trying and actual presenting are different useful records. A grown-up can remove access barriers without choosing your ideas. No device, printer, purchase, account, recording or public upload is required. Pair any longer block with school-selected independent reading at the learner’s taught point. Extension adds challenge, not a barrier to the core.
