- Place value to 100 000: Gives a digit’s face value, not its place value (the 3 in 30 480 as 3).
- Decimals: tenths and hundredths: Swaps tenths and hundredths (the 6 in 0.06 as 6 tenths).

- Homophones and confused words: Picks the spelling by sound, without thinking about the meaning.
- Word class and pronoun case: Decides if a word is a noun or a verb from the word alone, not from the job it does in the sentence.
- Sequencing sentences and steps: Keeps the sentences in the order they are shown, without asking what happened first.
