Screening checklists for comprehension for c 36 months

[Philip Dale]

In addition to Ages and Stages, you might look at O'Neill's Language Use
Inventory (mostly about pragmatics) and at the language subscales of the
Minnesota Child Development Inventory.

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
