Draw a line from each school word to the everyday word that means about the same.
usually — most times
often — many times
carefully — with care
slowly — not fast
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: carefully, often, slowly, usually.
Word bank: carefully, often, slowly, usually.
It usually rains in spring.
We often see clouds.
Pour the water carefully.
The ice melted slowly.
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 usually ___.
Because rain, the usually rain.one possible answer — accept any full sentence that uses the word properly
We use usually when ___.

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.
