The idea
Prompts help a learner give the right response and come in three kinds, verbal, gestural and physical, used from least to most intrusive.
In practice
A teacher first says "check the sign", then points to it, then guides the student's pencil.
Where people slip
Verbal prompts come first because they are the easiest to fade, which is the goal of every prompt.
