Manuals : Manipulative Kit and Protocols. Many of the children you test speak both Spanish and English. Before PLS-5 Spanish, you needed to administer a test in English and a test in Spanish to obtain information about a bilingual child’s skills in each language. Often, both scores were low, because children have acquired some language skills in English and some in Spanish. Now, you can obtain an Auditory Comprehension, Expressive Communication, and Total Language score that captures the child’s Spanish and English skills in one score. When using PLS-5 Spanish with bilingual children, administer the test items in Spanish, then readminister the items with 0 scores in English. When using the test with monolingual Spanish speakers, administer only the items in Spanish. Features & Benefits The test provides bilingual-conceptual language scores for Auditory Comprehension and Expressive Communication, plus a Total Language score. The test is normed with 1,150 monolingual and bilingual Spanish-speaking children in the United States and Puerto Rico. PLS-5 Spanish uses the same manipulatives kit as the PLS-5 English edition. Spanish storybooks can be ordered separately. 20131017. Assessment. Bilingualism in children. Speech disorders in children. Steiner, Violette. Pond, Roberta.
