Summary
This norm-referenced measure of Spanish hearing vocabulary is a version of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test developed for use with Spanish-speaking children and adolescents. It was standardized in Puerto Rico and Mexico. When it is used as an achievement test, it may be used to show student progress when Spanish is the language of instruction, or when assessing proficiency in Spanish as a second language. It may be used as a screening test of scholastic aptitude when Spanish is the language of the home and community and when Spanish is the language of instruction. The measure is available in English and Spanish.
The measure is individually administered and does not require reading, verbal or written responses. Also said to be useful for screening at the kindergarten and first grade level for follow-up assessment, to determine language of instruction for bilingual children. The examinee points to one of a series of plates in response to an oral stimulus. Norms for Hispanic children and youth on the U.S. mainland will be developed if examiners volunteer to test a group of these students.
