Screening checklists for comprehension for c 36 months

[Kirsten Abbot-Smith]

Many thanks, Isabelle. I had a look at the website and it took me through to the Language Development Survey. But as far as I am aware, this only looks at language production, right? I'm looking for a checklist screening method which would pick up children whose receptive language is apparently poorer than their productive language (I know this is not so common, but they exist) as well as those children who are delayed in both productive and receptive language (which kindergarten teachers seem to find easier to spot).

But maybe this measure does not exist / is impossible to get kindergarten teachers to complete in a reliable manner?

Hi Kirsten,

Here in the US, the recommendation for Head Start programs (preschool programs that receive federal support) includes:
- Brigance developmental screening
- Age and Stage Questionnaire (a Spanish version exists)

that includes lexical, grammatical, visuo-spatial and motor subtests.

On this website you can find more info on these tools:

I hope this helps,

Dear all,
Does anyone know of the existence of any parental or kindergarten teacher checklists for language comprehension in children aged c. 36 months?

I'm thinking of feasibility of asking kindergarten or preschool teachers to complete very short comprehension screening instruments containing items such as:

Does child understand instructions with about four main words in, for example "sit teddy on the box" or "kick the big red ball"
Does child follow two-part instructions e.g. "Get your socks and put them in the basket"
Does child understand simple Wh- question words such as 'who' and where
Does child answer simple questions about objects e.g. "which one do we eat with"?
Does child understand concepts of size for example 'big / little'

Many thanks in advance,
Kirsten
