3 · Write your own sentence

problem
The problem was that the pen broke. — model; accept any sentence where the word does real work
Bonus — we have not taught this word. Try it anyway.
The story was about a lost dog.
Word: story — what happened
Scoring. 7 marks: 4 matching, 2 gaps, 1 written sentence(s) worth 2 each. The bonus item is not scored. It uses a word never taught, from the same family as the taught ones. A child who gets it has learned the CATEGORY; a child who does not has learned the twenty-four words, which is still a pass — but it tells you which one you are looking at, and no other item on this paper can.
