Looking Closely at the Listening Domain1st grade example
Test administrator reads the following:Listen as I tell you about some animals. Listen carefully. You will hear the information only once.
Animals find food in different ways. Bees communicate, or talk to each other, to find food. But bees do not use words to talk. Instead, bees dance to tell other bees how far away food is. If food is close, bees walk in circles. The circle dance tells other bees that food is nearby. Other animals do other things to find food. Ants use smell to find food. They smell with antennae [an-TEH-nee]. Antennae are long and thin and found on top of their heads. The antennae on the top of their heads help ants smell their way to food!
(From ELPAC Sample Test - First Grade)

“The first sentence in the story is: Julie is playing outside. The second sentence should say: It is not a windy day. The word “day” is missing from the story. Write the word “day.”
Now it is your turn to write the end of the story. How should the story end? Write your sentence.”
