Compare “was”, “may” and “I hope”. Tell what each sentence says—and what it does not say.
Weather word detective
Made-up notes: A pretend gauge recorded rain on Monday. Rain may fall Tuesday. Jo hopes for rain. Write what happened in the example, what is possible and what Jo hopes.
Parcel-plan reader
Made-up notes: One story-card parcel arrived yesterday. Another is expected tomorrow. Ash hopes for blue cards. Give the reader three clear lines.
Game-night reporter
Made-up notes: A character finished one round yesterday. Another round may happen Friday. The character thinks the quiet rule is best. Show the three different jobs of these lines.
Make your own idea below, use paper or tell a familiar adult. A short clear idea is a good start.
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.
Use the shared text through listening or accessible print; actual independent reading is checked separately. Original fictional activities and predictions do not become actual trial results.
