Complete fictional source
This is a complete fictional source for a small helper job. A pretend art table has a shallow blue tray and a tall cardboard box. A new helper needs to carry paper picture cards to the story mat. The supplied helper answer says, ‘I choose the shallow blue tray because I can see the cards.’ This answer was supplied for the task; no real person was interviewed. Yesterday, Lee wrote the answer on a card. Tomorrow, Lee plans to add a tray label. The label has not been made. A drawing description shows a tray with visible paper cards and a separate blank label card. Nothing in the source says which container is strongest or waterproof. A question should help this helper decide about the card-carrying job. A message can report the supplied answer and separately offer a new idea.
Four own invitations

Ways to respond
Adult reading of the full source, usual communication, larger print, breaks, pointing and exact dictation are allowed; record which. Do not supply a component’s worked answer or criterion before a genuine first response. Reading aloud means this case cannot by itself demonstrate independent decoding; adult pen work cannot demonstrate handwriting.
Original neutral first/later formative source, not a calibrated official assessment band.
