The Reading Metacognitive Strategy Picture Protocol (RMSPP) is an informal, authentic, naturalistic diagnostic tool for classroom teachers and clinicians to use with children as young as kindergarten to assess students’ knowledge and awareness of metacognitive strategies. This article describes the RMSPP and how it was implemented in one informal project with 139 kindergarten – third graders, illustrating the usefulness of this picture protocol response technique with young children.
