An optional free 5–15-minute encounter; stop or return another time. No homework return, earlier lesson, print, purchase, device or personal disclosure. A familiar adult may read these exact words and record only the learner's chosen words. Quiet thinking, sign/AAC and literal dictation are welcome; adult invention is not learner composition. All objects/events below may stay imagined.
Read original mini-draft “It went there. Then it changed.” Choose what “it” is and where “there” is in a fictional story, and make a clearer version. Scrap, dictation or conversation is enough. Prompt: “What does your reader need to know here?” Notice child-supplied detail and an actual edit. Optional next: ask a willing private person what they understood; if none, reread yourself. No fabricated listener response.
