The paper bridge arrival · staff case

Eligibility and exposure

Show the complete matched source only when beginning this case. If the child has already seen its staff worked answers, practised it, or received answer-level help, record that exposure and use it as supported/formative teaching rather than an independent first response. Later is a new source, not an automatic progress test.

Help and actual evidence

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.

Complete neutral source

This original fictional story is complete. Paper Fox arrives at a cardboard bridge while a little paper Owl waits beside the first post. Fox sees a narrow path and whispers, ‘That looks high.’ Owl sees the same path as a fine place for a tiny parade. Fox takes one careful step. ‘Tap-tap,’ go the paper feet. Fox reaches the other side and smiles. Owl has watched this one crossing from the post. Fox plans a return crossing later, but the story does not say that it happens. The illustration description shows Fox on the far side, Owl beside the near post and the empty path between them. A reader can imagine an adapted thought for Owl while keeping the supplied arrival. No real bridge height, safety rule or journey is asserted.

B-first-Q1

Invitation

Name one difference between what Fox and Owl notice about the same bridge.

Component criterion

Gives a specific source-supported difference between narrow/high path and parade possibility.

Staff example after an attempt

Fox notices the narrow high-looking path; Owl notices a possible parade place. They do not need to feel the same way.

Judgement limit

Use this component-specific description with the actual response and recorded help. No point total, A–E level, diagnosis, causal gain or independent-exposure claim.

B-first-Q2

Invitation

Choose one source phrase that could affect the mood and explain its effect on a reader.

Component criterion

Identifies a supplied phrase and gives a plausible supported mood effect; alternatives are accepted.

Staff example after an attempt

‘That looks high’ could make the crossing feel uncertain. ‘Tap-tap’ might make it feel light and playful; the explanation must connect to the chosen words.

Judgement limit

Use this component-specific description with the actual response and recorded help. No point total, A–E level, diagnosis, causal gain or independent-exposure claim.

B-first-Q3

Invitation

Explain whether the return crossing has happened in this story.

Component criterion

Keeps the supplied completed crossing separate from the open return plan.

Staff example after an attempt

One crossing finishes. The return is only planned; the ending gives no completed return.

Judgement limit

Use this component-specific description with the actual response and recorded help. No point total, A–E level, diagnosis, causal gain or independent-exposure claim.

B-first-Q4

Invitation

Retell the arrival in two or three sentences from Owl’s view. Keep the one crossing and change what Owl notices.

Component criterion

Preserves the event while making a specific Owl-view noticing; invented thought is understood as adapted fiction.

Staff example after an attempt

‘I watched Fox’s paper feet tap across. The path looked ready for a tiny parade. Fox smiled on the far side.’ keeps the arrival and changes the noticing.

Judgement limit

Use this component-specific description with the actual response and recorded help. No point total, A–E level, diagnosis, causal gain or independent-exposure claim.
