Guidelines/Instructions
Allow one minute for each letter. Record the count of words that begin with the correct letter or belong in the correct category. Then count all correct words for all letters. Proper nouns (i.e.. names of people, states, etc.) are not acceptable. Changing the ending of words (i.e.. "thirty-one, thirty-two") is not acceptable. Scoring: Do not give credit for using the same word with minor variations in the ending. If a subject gives the same word with different endings, such as care, cares, caring, count the first word as correct, and ignore the other variations on the same word. Variations on the same word are simply ignored- they do not count as errors. This rule applies only to suffixes that change the tense of a verb or change a word from singular to plural, but do not significantly alter the meaning of the word. It does not apply to words with a common root but different meanings, such as art, artful, artisan, artless. It also does not apply to words that change pronunciation such as mouse, mice.
