Picture Naming (Ages 3-5)

The format of this indicator presents a child with images of objects commonly found in preschoolers' natural environments (i.e., home, classroom, community), one at a time, asking a child to name the pictures as fast as possible. Categories of objects used in this format include animals, food, people, household objects, games and sports materials, vehicles, tools, and clothing. Each photograph and line drawing is printed on an 8" x 5" index card. After providing a set of sample items, the examiner asks the child to look at each card and name it as quickly as possible. After exactly one minute, the examiner stops the activity and counts the total number of pictures named correctly.
