Name what actually went wrong
A standard explanation says why the correct answer works. Mistake repair also explains why the option the child selected does not work—for example, choosing the noun being described instead of the adjective.

Two children can choose the same wrong answer for different reasons. Effective repair starts by identifying the exact misunderstanding, then checking the idea again on a genuinely different example.

Make the correction small enough to use
The child receives no more than three ordered steps and one quick rule. The aim is a clear action they can apply independently, not a long lecture after an error.
Check understanding on a new template
Repeating the same question can reward memory. A fresh retry changes the wording, values or diagram while preserving the underlying skill, giving better evidence of correction.
Three clear steps
- Notice the selected pattern
Connect the wrong option to a specific misconception rather than a broad topic label.
- Rebuild the method calmly
Use the shortest explanation and model the decision that should happen next time.
- Verify, retain and transfer
Check the skill on different questions over time and later inside mixed or timed work.
