Is your child actually READING… or just reading the pictures?
Karen explains how some students use illustrations, familiar characters, and predictable storylines to figure out what's happening in a book.
While picture clues can support comprehension, they don't always tell us whether a child can independently decode and read the words.
That's why it's important to use unfamiliar reading passages when assessing a student's reading skills.
Parents, make sure you're measuring what your child can actually READ, not just what they can recognize or predict!
