font-family:Arial'>I am looking for a good (reliable, valid) instrument to measure
language skills in normally-developing, English-speaking 4-year-olds.
Ideally it could be administered in under 30-45 minutes. I am already
planning to include the PPVT for vocabulary, but what would people recommend to
assess syntax and/or a range of capacities? Suggestions would be most
welcome—thanks!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
