Summary

    About This Product

    For use on its own or with the Test of Integrated Language and Literacy Skills™ (TILLS™), the Student Language Scale (SLS) reliably screens students ages 6–18 years for language/literacy disorders, including dyslexia. Filled out by parents, teachers, and students, the screener is a quick, cost-effective way to see how students are performing on academic tasks as compared to their same-age peers. Use the SLS to:

    • Screen for language/literacy disorders, including dyslexia, by gathering teachers’ and parents’ ratings of students
    • Gather input about a struggling student’s strengths and needs from multiple sources
    • Enhance home–school communication by gaining new insight into the student’s performance and the teacher’s and the parents’ and student’s perspectives on it, whether or not everyone agrees and whether or not there are concerns

    Equally effective when used with an entire classroom or with individual students, the SLS is the tool you need to quickly gather valuable information about strengths and needs—and plan next steps for students at risk for disorders.

    • Expert developed. The SLS developers are highly respected for their test-building skills and evidence-based work in the field of language and literacy assessment and school social work.
    • Fast and easy. The three-part SLS can be completed in just 3 minutes or less. Administration and scoring is simple—a pencil and paper are all you need.
    • Strong sensitivity and specificity. Sensitivity of the SLS to risk of language/literacy disorder is .90 for teachers and .85 for parents, and specificity (correct identification of typical learners) is .90 for teachers and .83 for parents.
    • Cost effective. The SLS helps you screen effectively at a lower cost than comparable tools on the market.
