Hi Carlton,
So sorry! By series, I meant the series of AR books.
Don't know that NBP can do anything to address this, but I'm going to pass
this on.
Thanks.
Amy

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
