# The cardboard music-room cards

## Complete fictional source

Text A is a complete fictional order card: ‘Paper musician entrance; short tune; quiet star wave goodbye.’ Text B is a complete invitation: ‘Come for a sparkling tune and a wonderfully wobbly paper musician entrance.’ A pretend performer wants to know the order. A pretend visitor wants to decide whether the scene sounds interesting. The supplied image description shows a large sign labelled MUSIC ROOM, with a square star-wave card beside the last order item. No other sign size is given. The order words do not name the card’s square shape. No real music session, availability, ticket, hearing requirement or loud-response rule is asserted. An audience member may use their usual communication or pass. The invitation’s ‘wonderfully’ is an evaluation, not a guarantee that every reader will enjoy the scene.

## Four own invitations

### Q1

Choose the text for the performer’s order job and give one supplied clue.

### Q3

Name a meaning supplied by the image description beyond Text A’s words.

### Q4

Choose one evaluative word from Text B and explain why it could fit an invitation.

## 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.
