# Day 29 · Two optional extras

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

## Dialogue check

Choose a line of your own dialogue and check capital, quotation marks and boundary punctuation under the school convention. Show the exact change.

## Two-minute editor

Read your guide as a new reader. Mark one pronoun such as it/they and check that its referent is clear. Replace it with a noun only if needed.

## 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.
