Use the Test of Language Development-Primary: Fourth Edition to (1) identify children who are significantly below their peers in oral language proficiency, (2) determine specific strengths and weaknesses in oral language skills, (3) document progress in remedial programs, and (4) measure oral language in research studies. Nine subtests measure various aspects of oral language. Combine the results of these subtests to form composite scores for the major dimensions of language: semantics and grammar, listening, organizing, speaking, and overall language ability. TOLD-P:4 Subtests:
- Picture Vocabulary – Measures a child’s understanding of spoken English.
- Relational Vocabulary – Measures a child’s understanding and ability to orally express relationships between two spoken stimulus words.
- Oral Vocabulary – Measures a child’s ability to give oral directions to common English words spoken by the examiner.
- Syntactic Understanding – Measures a child’s ability to comprehend the meaning of sentences.
- Sentence Imitation – Measures a child’s ability to imitate English sentences.
- Morphological Completion – Measures a child’s ability to recognize, understand, and use common English morphological forms.

- Word Discrimination – Measures a child’s ability to recognize the differences in significant speech sounds.
- Word Articulation – Measures a child’s ability to utter important English speech sounds.
