This is a replacement Examiner's Manual for the MAVA. Research tells us that children with large, rich vocabularies have better verbal, reading, and writing skills. MAVA evaluates a child’s knowledge of basic (tier one), high frequency (tier two), and curriculum-based (tier three) words. This assessment includes, up-to-date word choices, full-color illustrations, and everything else you need to evaluate the listening and speaking vocabulary of children ages 3;0–12;11.
I think this is a wonderful test. I have been using it since the school year started, and I really like the information it gives. Being able to use the response analyzer and print out the student's results is great and helps in report writing. I would like to have a way to print out the results without having the checkout sign in the right hand corner. Also, when using the easels it can be difficult to turn the pages.

I wanted to thank the team who added the Qualitative Response Analyzer to the MAVA. That tool takes the test from average to outstanding as I use it to give parents a real understanding of their child's vocabulary skills. Teachers also better understand where to focus their efforts when I share the data printout at IEP meetings. The tool is quick and easy to use and included FREE with the test. What a great way to make the information we gather more useful to SLPs and IEP team members.
