# Day 23 · A five-minute home offer

Look at or imagine one familiar object. Say one plain description and one playful comparison. Ask “What do the words help you picture?” Keep it to five minutes; no need to perform or share.

1. Choose one idea.
2. Try it through words, text, drawing or pointing.
3. Keep it, change it or stop.

No homework record is required.

## 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. No parent marking or assessment-card rehearsal is needed. Ask one curious question and preserve the child’s wording.
