The SPELT®-P 2: Structured Photographic Expressive Language Test (Preschool) analyzes specific language structures in preschool-aged children.

Ages: 3-0 through 5-11
Administration Time: 15-20 minutes

The SPELT®-P 2 includes 44 full color photographs of everyday situations and objects paired with simple verbal questions and statements to elicit specific morphological and syntactical structures. It allows for analysis of specific language structures that may not occur in spontaneous language samples.

Features of the SPELT®-P 2

  • Forty-four 4" x 6" real life color photos in an album provide larger improved stimulus pictures.
  • Updated pictures reflect a more current and non-biased representation of ethnicity.
  • New morphological and syntactical structures have been added.
  • Normative tables are based on a national sample of over 1700 children from the four geographical areas specified by the U.S. Census Bureau
  • Standard scores, confidence intervals, percentile ranks, percentile bands and test-age equivalents are provided for females and males, ages 3-0 through 5-11.
  • A new chapter on African American English and scoring guide are provided by Nola T. Radford, Ph.D.
  • New reliability and validity studies are reported.
