I'm doing 5 step error correction with DS2 when we're doing DTT. So if he makes a mistake, I give him a full prompt, then repeat with no prompt, then put in two distractor trials, then repeat the trial.
What happens if he never does it unprompted, either on the second or the fifth step? Do I just go on to something else and mark it unmastered? Or do I repeat the whole thing until he gets it?
Secondly, is it usual for children to suddenly be unable to do something that they have been able to do perfectly well? DS2 had got really good at giving me named pieces from inset puzzles. This week he doesn't seem to be able to do it at all. Eg. I say 'give me monkey' and he picks up pieces randomly and shoves them at me. But if I hold the piece up and say 'what's this?' he says 'monkey'. Then I put it back, say 'give me monkey' and he starts the random choosing again.
