Routing Rule

0–4 = repeat next week + repair drill
5–6 = keep in rotation
7–8 = owned (maintenance)

2) Scene Deployment Checklist (Anti-Dump + Tone Lock)

Composition Title / Prompt: _______________

A) Paragraph Distribution Rule

Minimum target words per paragraph:

P1: 2
P2: 2–3
P3: 2–3
P4: 1–2

Tick after writing:

[ ] P1 has _ target words
[ ] P2 has _ target words
[ ] P3 has _ target words
[ ] P4 has _ target words

If one paragraph has 5+ target words → dump detected.

B) Tone Lock (One emotion per paragraph)

Write dominant tone:

P1 tone: __
P2 tone: __
P3 tone: __
P4 tone: __

Check:

[ ] Each vocabulary word matches paragraph tone
[ ] No “ecstatic in sad scene” mismatch

C) Naturalness Test (2 sentences)

Choose 2 sentences containing target words:

Sentence 1: ______________________________

[ ] sounds natural
[ ] sounds forced → rewrite

Sentence 2: ______________________________

[ ] sounds natural
[ ] sounds forced → rewrite

3) Phrase Bank Builder (Z1 Encoding)

For each word:

			
WORD: ____________
Meaning (own words): ________________________________
3 Collocations:
1) ______________________
2) ______________________
3) ______________________
1 Misuse Trap:
- ______________________
1 “Scene Role” sentence (what it does in a story):
- ______________________

		

(Do this for 8–12 words weekly.)

4) Error Log → Failure Mode Router (FM1–FM6)

After marking the composition, log the errors.

			
DATE: ________   SCENE TYPE: S__
ERROR EXCERPT (copy the sentence):
______________________________________________________
WORD(S) INVOLVED: ____________
FAILURE MODE (circle):
FM1 Fancy Word Syndrome
FM2 Synonym Misfire
FM3 Tone Mismatch
FM4 Collocation Error
FM5 Retrieval Collapse (under time)
FM6 Vocabulary Dumping
WHY (1 line):
______________________________________________________
REPAIR DRILL ASSIGNED (choose 1–2):
A) Collocation lock (3 correct pairings)
B) Tone lock (positive/negative/neutral tagging)
C) Gradient ladder (mild → strong)
D) Rewrite weakest paragraph only
E) Timed micro-scene (120–160 words, 10 min)
F) Rapid retrieval round (30 sec per word)

		

5) The “Weakest Paragraph Rewrite” Template (Tutor/LLM)

Paste only the weakest paragraph here:

Original paragraph:

Target words you must keep (max 3): ___

Rewrite rules:

keep child’s voice
keep plot unchanged
fix only vocabulary deployment + tone + flow

Rewritten paragraph:

6) 10-Minute Parent Weekly Script (Minimal Operator)

Do this every Sunday.

“Use word #1 in a sentence about today at school.”
“Give 2 collocations for word #2.”
“What’s the misuse trap for word #3?”
“Pick the most forced sentence in your composition. Rewrite it.”
“Which 2 words will you repeat next week?”

Log only:

the 2 weakest words
their failure mode
the repair drill

7) FenceOS Compatibility (Mini Ratios)

These are simple “sensors” you can track weekly.

R1: Deployment Rate

target words used naturally / target words planned
Goal: ≥ 0.8

R2: Drift Rate

wrong usage count / total target word attempts
Goal: ≤ 0.2

R3: Time Stability

target words deployed in timed writing / untimed writing
Goal: close to 1.0 (no collapse under time)
