Draw a line from each school word to the everyday word that means about the same.
important — worth caring about
common — seen a lot
similar — almost the same
possible — it could happen
MATCH — watch forRecognition only. A child can do this by elimination without meaning anything by the word, which is why it is rung one and not the whole sheet.
2. CHOOSE
Fill each gap with the right word. Word bank: common, important, possible, similar.
Word bank: common, important, possible, similar.
Water is important for plants.
Robins are common here.
The two rocks are similar.
It is possible to grow beans.
CHOOSE — watch forPRACTICE MODE: blocked. All gaps come from today's set.
3. FRAME
Finish each sentence.
Expect the FULL sentence on the line, not just the missing word. A one-word answer is incomplete — ask for it again.
Because ___, the important ___.
Because rain, the important rain.one possible answer — accept any full sentence that uses the word properly
We use important when ___.
We use important when rain.one possible answer — accept any full sentence that uses the word properly
FRAME — watch forThe release to independence. Today's scaffold is “partial”, and it shrinks each time this unit returns until there is no frame at all — the child should be able to feel it coming off.
4. PRODUCE
Write your own sentences using the school words. Target: 5 sentences. A + means more than one sentence in that slot. You may use the frame for two of your three. Try the third without it.

PRODUCE — watch forThe printed target is the LOTF move: the child can see what a full answer looks like instead of guessing how much is enough. The Today's frame ration is 2 — say it aloud, and say BOTH halves: the frame is there if they need it, and it is better writing without it.
