5. "Say this sentence after me—'I am cold and hungry.'"
If the child is timid, he may be tried first with shorter sentences. He is not allowed to pass unless his enunciation is perfect. A sentence containing six syllables should be remembered at this level.
Four Years.
1. "Are you a little boy or a little girl?"
If necessary, this question may be divided: "Are you a little boy?" "Are you a little girl?"
2. "What is this?"—"And this?"—"And this?" The examiner shows the child successively a key, a penny, and a knife.
3. "I am going to say three numbers. I want you to repeat them. Listen. 2, 7, 5."—"Again, 9, 0, 4."—"Again, 3, 8, 1."
One success suffices.
4. "You see these lines. Tell me which is longer." See Fig. 7.
No hesitation or uncertainty is satisfactory.
