A measure of receptive vocabulary for standard English, which helps you to identify children who have difficulty in accessing vocabulary.
The British Picture Vocabulary Scale (BPVS) can be used as an initial screener to show the extent of a child's English vocabulary acquisition and is ideal as a baseline measure for children starting nursery or school. This method of assessment does not require any reading, speaking or writing - the child simply points to the picture cards.
The British Picture Vocabulary Scale:
- Provides a standard age score and a receptive vocabulary age equivalent
- Contains 168 reliable test items, including a wide variety of stimulus words
- Offers separate norms for pupils who have English as an additional language.
