Examiner script
I am going to give you a worksheet. When you get your worksheet, please write your name at the
top and put your pencil down.
(Hand out the Maze student worksheets. Make sure students have written their names down before proceeding.)
You are going to read a passage with some words missing from it. For each missing word you will
see a box with three words in it. Your job is to circle the word you think makes the most sense in the
context of the passage. Let’s look at the Practice Passage together. Listen as I read.
Tom goes to a school far from his house. Every morning, he takes a school (pause) art, bus, work
(pause) to go to school.
Let’s stop there. Let’s circle the word “bus” because I think “bus” makes the most sense here.
Listen to how that sentence sounds now.
Now it’s your turn. Read the next sentence silently to yourself. When you come to a box, read all
the words in the box and circle the word that makes the most sense to you. When you are done, put
your pencil down.
(Allow up to 30 seconds for students to complete the example and put their pencils down.)
If necessary, after 30 seconds say Put your pencil down. As soon as all students have their pencils down,
say Good job.
Now listen. In the (pause) afternoon, library, morning (pause), he also takes a bus home. You should
have circled “afternoon” because “afternoon” makes the most sense. Listen. In the afternoon, he
also takes a bus home.
Okay, when I say “Begin,” turn the page and start reading the passage silently. Start on the page with
the title. When you come to a box, read all the words in the box and circle the word that makes the
most sense in the passage. You will stop when you come to a stop sign or I say Stop. Ready? Begin.
Start the timer.
At the end of 3 minutes, stop the timer and say Stop. Put your pencils down.
Reminders
Start timer Start the timer after you say Begin.
Prompts If a student starts reading the passage out loud, say Please read the passage silently.
(Repeat as often as needed.)
If a student skips an entire page, say. Please be sure not to skip pages.
If a student stops working, say Please keep going until I tell you to stop. Just do
your best work. (Repeat as often as needed.)
Discontinue There is no discontinue rule. Every student should be encouraged to try their best until
three minutes have passed.
