various locations on the scene picture, e.g. “Put the robot on the red chair.”
2. The examiner asks questions about two of the people or things in the scene picture,
e.g. “What’s this?” (Answer: banana) “What color is it?” (Answer: yellow). The
examiner also asks the child to describe an object from the scene, e.g. “Tell me about
this box.”

(orange) juice) and “What do you drink for lunch?”

The usher introduces the child to the examiner. The examiner asks the child
“What’s your name?” and “How old are you?”
1. The examiner asks the child to describe several differences between the two Find
the Differences pictures, e.g. “Here it’s a cloudy day, but here it’s a sunny day.”
2. The examiner tells the child the name of the story and describes the first picture,
e.g. “These pictures show a story. It’s called, ‘Fred loves food’. Look at the pictures
first. (Pause) Fred’s at home with his family. They’re in the kitchen and Mom’s
giving him his dinner.” The examiner then asks the child to continue the story.
The title of the story and the name of the main character(s) are shown with the
pictures in the candidate booklet.
3. The examiner demonstrates how to do this task with the first set of four odd-one-
out pictures and then asks the child to choose one picture in the other three

You read it.”
