Next up: The *Expressive* One Word Picture Vocab Test...
|
Hi everyone, I'm back at it this Sunday releasing an assessment-focused video. Last week, we discussed the Receptive One Word Picture Vocabulary Test, Spanish-Bilingual Edition, 4th Edition (click to watch last week's). This week I'm talking about it's expressive companion test: the Expressive One Word Picture Vocabulary Test, Spanish-Bilingual, 4th Edition or the EOW PVT SB4 (click to watch) I walk you through the scoring of this assessment. One thing I discuss is that I've heard that this assessment is biased. It's possible it is. However, I have found that my students typically do well on this assessment. I can't explain it. What I forgot to mention is that I don't use it to determine my student's dominant language. I use it to describe strengths and weaknesses that they might have. Lastly I also forgot to share that you can take the standard score from the EOW PVT and compare it to the standard score of the ROW PVT, it's receptive counterpart, and see if the gap is statistically significant. When receptive is higher than expressive, the student understands more than they can express. But when the gap is the other way around and the expressive is higher than the receptive, there could be more variables coming into play. I think I'm going to do a video about what that means from my years of noticing that. This video is half as long as the other video, so phew! Stay tuned, I have more assessment videos coming your way :) Have a great week ahead!! Thank you, Sarah 💝 |

Hi everyone, This week I'm walking through the TOLD I:5 for students ages 8 through 17. I think of this test as a tough test partially because there is only one subtest with visual support. However, it's much faster and feels more academic than the CELF5. What do you think? Watch: TOLD I:5 Full Walkthrough I think there is a place and a time for most assessments and this can give you some information that can help you plan intervention for older students. ********* Back when I was providing...
Hi everyone, This week I'm walking through the Test of Word Finding, 3rd edition. And I like it a lot. Finding a good test of word finding is important because we've all had those clients who really struggle to find words. What I like about this test is that there are two main components. The first easel you administer to test clients' abilities to find a word when given a picture, without a picture, and then verbs. Then after you are done with that, you get out the comprehension check easel....
Hi everyone, I'm walking through the TOLD P5 this week. It's a solid test that I actually forget about. I like that it feels like bulky and long than the CELF. It feels like a real production when you have to give the CELF. But with the TOLD P5, you feel like you get solid info but you didn't have to work too hard to get it! I've given the TOLD P5 before, but I'd like to hear what you think about it! Watch: TOLD P5 BUT you might be just DONE with any speech therapy related if you are on...
