This versatile instrument measures children’s expressive and receptive language skills, pre-academic skills, and articulation. Normed for 3- through 6-year-olds, the K-SEALS is ideal for preschools, kindergartens, elementary schools, speech and language clinics, and other settings where young children are assessed. It is commonly used to test for school readiness, to identify gifted children, and to evaluate early intervention programs.

    Individually administered in just 15 to 25 minutes, the test includes four scales, three subtests, and a composite score:

    Scales

    Easy to administer and score, K-SEALS gives you a balanced assessment of early academic and language skills.
