Step 1 of 4 · Meet the situation
How read-aloud works
Uses only a voice your browser reports as on-device. Reads public step text; no voice recording or remote fallback. Text is always available to read with a partner or screen reader.
1. Meet the situation
One person reads the notice, the other checks the draft. Swap roles and explain one difference.
The situation or source
Fictional library notice: Free repair drop-in on Saturday, 10 am–noon. Book a place first. Bring one small item. Electrical repairs are not offered.
Take turns: read the original, then let your partner point out one important detail. Neither person needs to be the expert.
Notice the important details. Read with someone or use the printable card.
2. Make a choice
The situation or source
Fictional library notice: Free repair drop-in on Saturday, 10 am–noon. Book a place first. Bring one small item. Electrical repairs are not offered.
The response or draft to check
Drop in any time Saturday for free repairs, including electrical items. No booking needed.
There is no penalty for trying again. You can also skip the choice and read the explanation.
3. See why
Read the explanation. You do not have to answer first.
What to notice
The original gives a two-hour window, requires booking and excludes electrical repairs. A helpful summary must preserve all three. A useful question is “How do I book?”—not an invented answer.
A helpful summary keeps the times, conditions and limits.
Swap roles: explain one check in your own words. Your partner compares it with the original. Ask “What still needs checking?”
4. Take it into everyday life
A helpful summary keeps the times, conditions and limits.
What would you ask the organiser before making plans? Think about it or discuss it; there is no box to submit a private answer.
Swap one useful skill
Each person shares one checking habit. For example: trace a fact to a notice, or verify an urgent request by calling a number you already know. Do not share private phone numbers, passwords or family safe-words.
One person does not have to be the technology expert. Listening and asking are skills too.
Try it in a new situation.
Optional practice, not a test. Explain your next step before looking at the choices.
New fictional notice: A free garden session runs Sunday 2–3 pm; book first and bring gloves. A draft says 'all afternoon, no booking, gloves supplied'. What would you do?
Read the reasoning without answering
Compare the new draft with this notice, not with the earlier repair example. The draft changes three conditions; restore them and ask about any genuinely missing details.
Choices are not submitted or retained. This exercise alone cannot demonstrate mastery or lasting benefit.
Optional practice marker
Source Checker
Only mark this if you feel you practised the check. No quiz score, certification, leaderboard or sharing requirement.
Not marked. Your summary can still include the habit to revisit.
This mission only. The marker resets when you reload or leave. Nothing is submitted.
Stopping here or choosing not to use AI is a valid result. If it helps, explain the useful part to someone who wants to hear it.
