Amy,
The most recent one was "In a Small Pond," by Denise Fleming. I don't
believe it is part of a series, though.
I was just so surprised when Anna took the test and the questions
centered on the pictures, not the text. I have been working VERY hard
to get Anna to be more independent in her reading -- thus, I don't
like to hover as she reads a book. I guess I still will need to do so
so long as the pictures abound.
Additionally, I remember that the Isabelle Gaines One Hundred Acre
Woods books (there are a fair numer of books in this series) had
several tests with questions relating to the pictures -- not the text.
Again, my complaint is: Accelerated READER tests should test what the
child READS. At least, that's what makes sense to me . . .
Carlton
