(K-SEALS) Kaufman Surveys of Early Academic and Language Skills
The Kaufman Survey of Early Academic and Language Skills (K-SEALS) is a valuable tool for testing school readiness, identifying gifted children, evaluating program effectiveness, and researching children’s early development.
K-SEALS is ideal for preschools, kindergartens, elementary schools, speech and language clinics, medical agencies, or any other setting in which young children are assessed.
Benefits
As an expanded and enhanced version of the Cognitive/ Language Profile in the Early Screening Profiles; K-SEALS provides a more reliable and balanced evaluation in the subtest, scale, and composite content areas.
Assures reliable and valid scores, including test-retest stability over long and short intervals.
Offers greater confidence, with high-quality norms and reliability coefficients.
Features
K-SEALS features three separate subtests for a well-rounded profile.
Vocabulary Subtest: The child identifies, by gesture or name, pictures of objects or actions and points to or names objects based on verbal descriptions of their attributes.
Numbers, Letters & Words: The child selects or names numbers, letters, or words; counts; indicates knowledge of number concepts (“smallest,” “half”); and solves number problems.
Articulation Survey: The child pronounces the names of common objects or actions and is assessed for correctness of pronunciation.
