Original clearly labelled model

Model story — The stubborn bookmark Tari’s paper bookmark refused to stay on page twelve. Each time Tari opened the book, the bookmark slid back to the title page. “I want to know how it starts,” it whispered. Tari wrote a tiny beginning on the bookmark’s back. At last it stayed beside the dragon. It already knew why the adventure mattered.

Model guide — Label a paper bookmark Use scrap paper or a spoken/typed label. Write the book title on one side and a page number on the other. If the number changes, update it. Keep the label beside your own book without marking library pages. The guide describes a task; it does not promise that every bookmark stays in place.

Writer’s choices The story makes an object speak and uses past-tense events to develop a problem and change. The guide uses action verbs and an if-condition. “The bookmark stayed beside the dragon” belongs to the imagined story. The guide’s instructions can be tried through an accessible text or paper route.

Grown-up help

A teaching model. It has no prefilled own-response fields and is kept off fresh-check pages. Library handling remains under the owner/school’s rules.

These are shared texts, not controlled decodables. Use a separately matched school-selected passage for independent reading. All example people and clubs are invented except the explicitly cited general weather facts.
