The British Picture Vocabulary Scale (BPVS3) is a receptive vocabulary assessment for children aged 3-16 years. It measures a child’s understanding of spoken words by having them choose a picture that best represents a given word. As no reading or spoken response is required, this test is suitable for non-readers, those with expressive language impairments, autism or English as an additional language. The assessment uses large-format, vividly coloured illustrations with black outlines to accommodate people with colour vision deficiencies.
How BPVS3 can help you:
Identify high and low-language-impaired children
BPVS3 helps to Identify any delays in a child’s vocabulary development from as early as three years old, as well as children with advanced vocabulary who need additional support. When combined with a measure of school attainment, BPVS3 should help identify students whose academic performance is below their potential.
Suitable for pre- or non-verbal learners
Responses can be provided through pointing or gesturing, making the assessment suitable for non-readers and children with specific learning difficulties.
Assess Progress
BPVS3 can be used as a time-efficient benchmarking and progress-checking assessment from pre-school to secondary school.
Product Continuity:
The BPVS3 product remains unchanged apart from the branding and copyright, which will transition from GL Assessment to Pearson Clinical.
