Frequently Asked Questions
Test Content
Did you change the pictures of the telephone and get rid of the calculator and newspaper?
Yes, all of those are deleted from the new test.
What is new with this version?
- Updated test items (no more calculator, stamps, or newspaper) and new normative data
- New digital test administration options (via Q-g and Q-i) for face-to-face administration and telepractice.
- New supplemental subtests (Connected Speech and
- Pragmatics Activities Checklist)
- New index scores: Academic Language index and Emerging
- Literacy index
- New screening test and digital scoring (sold separately)
CELF Preschool 2 did not provide much of an opportunity to obtain information about spontaneous speech? IS CELF Preschool 3 the same?
The new test includes a Connected Speech subtest using a story retell format. Use the No Juice! book to tell the child the story, then ask him or her to retell the story. Compare the morphosyntactic forms used in the Connected Speech sample to those on the Word Structure subtests.
What are the two digital options offered for CELF Preschool-3? | ||
Q-global | Q-interactive | |
| What would I need to buy? | A digital kit, which includes:
| A yearly license fee per user provides access to all the speech and language tests on the platform. These include: CELF-5, PPVT-5, EVT-3, GFTA-3, GFTA-3 Spanish, KLPA-3, CELF Preschool-3 (when published.)
|
| What equipment do I need? |
|
|
| Do I need internet access? | Yes | Yes, to set up the assessment protocol you want to use. Once the test is uploaded to your iPads, you do not need internet access to administer tests. |
| Will the CELF Preschool-3 Screener be available digitally? | Yes | No |
| Using either platform… | You control the testing pace and presentation of test stimuli. | |
| See the CELF Preschool 3 Digital and Print Options guide | ||
Use Cases
Do I have to administer a CELF Preschool-3 Screening before I use the CELF Preschool-3?
That is up to you, and depends on the requirements or limitations at your work setting. If you conduct mass screenings, one advantage to using the CELF Preschool-3 Screening Test if you plan to follow up with the child by administering CELF Preschool-3 is that you can take the examinee's responses from the Screening and write them (or just the scores) on the CELF Preschool-3 protocol and skip those questions during the test administration (so the child does not have to take the items twice). But you can certainly choose to use any screening tool before administering the CELF Preschool-3.
What if I used the PLS-5 Screening Test to screen? Can I follow up with CELF Preschool-3?
You can certainly follow up with any diagnostic assessment after using a PLS-5 Screening protocol. However, if you use an assessment other than CELF Preschool-3, you would not be able to transfer responses from the screening test.
