CID Early Childhood Vocabulary Rating Forms

Now available exclusively as a DIGITAL form, the CID Early Childhood Vocabulary Rating Form offers professionals a more modern, flexible and convenient way to assess vocabulary skills in children birth to age 5 who are deaf and hard of hearing.

This easy-to-use, five-part, criterion-referenced assessment is designed for teachers of the deaf, speech-language pathologists and other professionals. Because of the importance of vocabulary for overall language development, professionals can benefit from a tool that specifically outlines vocabulary at five levels: functional vocabulary, first 100 words, more basic vocabulary, theme-based vocabulary and preschool-specific vocabulary. This assessment allows teachers to:

• determine present levels of receptive and expressive vocabulary skills
• determine vocabulary goals for IEPs and lessons
• track vocabulary development over time
• report vocabulary progress to parents and other professionals
