Since we use “looking at the picture” as one of our reading strategies, does the passage reading section for lower grades (i.e. 1 st and 2 nd) include pictures?
The passages do not include pictures for precisely that reason. We don’t want students using pictures as cues while they read. We want an un-aided measure of how they perform on text that is novel to them. Remember that during the PRF task, teachers are not necessarily teaching reading strategies, but are assessing the effects of the strategies that they teach and use during the rest of the day. So, you would see the effects of the use of the strategy “looking at the picture” and any other strategies you’re using, as an outcome on the students’ PRF scores.
