Show the child the picture . . .

1 Administer the items using pictures in the Stimulus book and the handy Quick Script:

. . . and follow the instructions:

1. Say to the child, “Here are some stars. I want you to count each star. Touch each star as you count.”

• In the blanks, record the number the child says as he or she touches each star. If the child stops before 5, put a dash in the remaining blanks.

• In the box marked “Correct(+)/Incorrect(-)” write “+” (= cor-rect) if the count is error free, or write “-” (= incorrect) if the child makes an error.

2. When the child is finished counting, turn to the blank page and ask, “How many stars were on the paper you just saw?”

3. Write “+” (= correct) if the child says “5”, or write the number the child said (= incorrect) if the child said any other number.
