These are public formative checks, not secure exams. Offer exact reading, print, broad model, tactile/no-touch descriptions, scribe, speech, sign, AAC or pointing. Show neutral numbered sources; no worked answer headings or answer demonstration. Big item marks identify objects, not a number-reading test. Record first answers and exact support before feedback. Ask the short parts separately. The child may say a source is missing or ask a question. Source-supported reasoning is the goal; making/drawing/neatness and real K03 knowledge are not assessed. All places, people and events below are invented. Ordinary models stay out of view.
Check A · Day 155 · Drawing Bay
Use fresh source sheet, blank broad bases, square ledge/round tray cues and folder marks 5/6/7; adult can place at child's direction. Read all four sources neutrally.
| Source | Exact invented words |
|---|---|
| 1 · earlier record | “Drawing Bay, earlier: folder 5 and folder 6 are on the square ledge. Folder 7 is in the round tray.” |
| 2 · later record | “Drawing Bay, later: folder 5 is on the square ledge. Folder 6 and folder 7 are in the round tray. Who put them there and why are not recorded.” |
| 3 · Nell's request | “Put a used folder in the round tray. Ask me before putting it on the square ledge. This is a request, not a report of what anyone did.” |
| 4 · Oli's account | “Drawing Bay matters to me because its ledge keeps my paper pictures easy to find. I have not given anyone else’s reason.” |
- Show folder 6 in each record. Tell what changed in its recorded place. Which source helps?
- Can we tell who put it there or why? What could we ask next?
- Show Nell's step on a new paper desk. Do we know a visitor followed it? Tell what you actually made or did on your paper desk.
- Whose place reason do we have? Tell a short place/source story. What do we still not know about other people?
Check B · Day 160 · Puzzle Point
Use fresh source sheet, new blank broad bases, square cabinet/round basket cues and envelope marks 8/9/10. Read all five sources neutrally.
| Source | Exact invented words |
|---|---|
| 1 · earlier record | “Puzzle Point, earlier: envelope 8, envelope 9 and envelope 10 are on the square cabinet. The round basket is empty.” |
| 2 · later record | “Puzzle Point, later: envelope 8 is on the square cabinet. Envelope 9 and envelope 10 are in the round basket.” |
| 3 · Dev's move account | “I put envelope 9 in the basket. I have not said who put envelope 10 there or why either was moved.” |
| 4 · keeper's request | “Put a used envelope in the round basket. Ask the keeper before putting it on the square cabinet. This is a request, not a use report.” |
| 5 · Ivo's place account | “Puzzle Point is special to me because I find my puzzle pictures at its cabinet. I have not spoken for other people.” |
- Show envelope 9 in each record. Is envelope 10 still in the later record? Which source helps?
- Who says they put envelope 9 in the basket? Do we know who put envelope 10 there, or why either moved? Ask one useful next question.
- Make or tell a care message from the keeper's words. What must be asked first? Is your message a plan, a paper thing you made, or proof that a visitor used it?
- Whose place reason do we have? Tell a short source story with earlier/later, that reason and one thing still open.
