Tell me more. 9

Queries How often should I query? 28 Copyright 2012. All rights reserved. Prompts... Used to teach or remind child of task. For example: children who mark more than one shape for an item on the Animal Coding subtest are reminded to mark only one shape for each animal. Instructions for prompting are included in the General Directions section of relevant subtests in Chapters 3 and 4 and are typically noted with a P on the Record Form. 29 Copyright 2012.

Repetitions It is generally good practice to repeat the instructions if the child has not responded within 5 10 seconds. However, instructions should not be repeated if it is clear that the child is considering his or her response. 31 Copyright 2012. All rights reserved. 31 Repetitions For subtests that require strict timing of the child s response with a stopwatch, instructions may be repeated as often as necessary, but the time to repeat the instructions or to provide necessary prompts is included in the completion time.
