Complete fictional source

This complete fictional editing source states the intended meanings before the child edits. One maker named Ana owns a paper kite. The draft label says ‘Anas kite’. A second draft sentence says ‘I do not want the star moved’; the writer wants the shorter contraction of ‘do not’. A group note says ‘The maker like the blue star’; its intended meaning concerns one maker’s present preference. Two further sentences report different jobs: ‘The paper has a tear near the corner’ and ‘Ana likes the blue star decoration’. A reader needs a short repair-and-decoration report. There is no real flying-kite or repair-tool instruction. The child may use the complete source while editing and can explain meaning through usual communication. A supplied final model is kept on the staff side, not inside the neutral source.

Four own invitations

Q1

Edit ‘Anas kite’ so the phrase shows the stated one-owner meaning; explain the mark’s job.

Q2

Write the shorter contraction of ‘do not’ in the draft sentence and explain its apostrophe.

Q3

Edit ‘The maker like the blue star’ for the one maker’s present preference.

Q4

Put the tear and decoration information into two related groups with useful labels.

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.
