Summary of procedures

The usher introduces the child to the examiner.

1. After asking the child ‘What’s your name?’, the examiner familiarises the child with

the picture first and then asks the child to point out certain items on the scene picture, e.g. ‘Where’s the door?’ The examiner then asks the child to put two object cards in 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 colour is it?’ (Answer: yellow). The examiner also asks the child to describe an object from the scene, e.g. ‘Tell me about this box.’

3. The examiner asks questions about four object cards, e.g. ‘What’s this?’ (Answer:

(orange) juice) and ‘What do you drink for lunch?’

4. The examiner asks questions about the child, e.g. ‘Which sport do you like?’

The usher introduces the child to the examiner.

1. The examiner greets the candidate and checks the candidate’s name. This part is

place them in different locations on the scene picture, e.g. 'Put the apple in front of

the birds.'

2. The examiner asks the candidate some questions about the scene picture, e.g. ‘What’s

this?’ (Answer: a fish) ‘What colour is it?’ (Answer: pink). The examiner also asks the

child to describe an object from the scene, e.g. ‘Tell me about this man.’

3. The examiner asks the candidate questions about four of the object cards, e.g. ‘What’s

this?’ (Answer: a spider) and ‘What’s your favourite animal?’

4. The examiner asks the candidate some personal questions on topics such as age,
