What are the starting items for the VP assessment for ages 6-8?

The starting items for the Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI) assessment—specifically for ages 6 to 8—in the WISC-V include a demonstration, a sample item, and then proceed to Item 1. This sequence is designed to help the child understand the format and expectations of the assessment, as the demonstration acts as a model, and the sample item provides practice before they attempt the first scoring item. The inclusion of these components in the starting sequence ensures that the child is adequately prepared to engage with the test items effectively, enhancing the accuracy of the assessment by enabling the child to correctly understand what is being asked.
