Complete fictional source

Two complete original fictional texts describe a cardboard gallery. Text A is a visitor route note: ‘Shell drawings: go through the folded door and follow the dotted line to the shell table.’ Its image description shows the dotted line and a large sign labelled SHELL TABLE. The source gives no size of another sign. Text B is a story: ‘The paper shell rolled past the door, giggling as the dotted line tickled its edge.’ A visitor wants to find the shell drawings. Another reader wants a funny character event. The texts share a place but have different jobs. The image description also shows a square marker beside the folded door; Text A’s words do not name that marker. There is no real gallery, local direction or claim that a shell can giggle. Any added recommendation should stay distinguishable from the source’s words.

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.
