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, The good news is that 2026 is going pretty good for me, definitely a year of new learning. However, 2024 and 2025 were both two of my worst years ever. I had a lot of hopes for 2025 because it was my year in the Chinese zodiac (I'm the snake). It held so much promise and then in the end it was bust. *cue tears* LUCKILY, it seems like 2026 is slowly becoming a wonderful year where I'm learning a ton of new skills and enjoying the process. I can't wait to share more in subsequent...
Hi everyone, Like I said last week, spring is making me so happy. I just looked outside and saw GREEN BUDS on the trees. That means baby squirrels are next! This squirrel family always has babies in the spring and I can't wait. The babies are so cute and silly. Anyway, I'm back uploading speech therapy related videos on YouTube. I just uploaded a video scoring the CELF4 in Spanish. What a wild test that is in terms of scoring! I'm still waiting for them to release a CELF5 in Spanish and...
Hi everyone, I hope you are having great spring! I've been enjoying looking out the window and seeing all the green grass and NOT gray snow and brown plants! I've published my latest video unrelated to speech therapy, which is why this is awkward... It's the latest installment about my weight loss journey! I just released week 22 on YouTube. I've lost more than 30 lbs in 5 months! If you want to watch, click: Week 22 Weight Loss Journey. But I'm excited because I'm developing some new YouTube...
