Abstract
The newly redesigned Spanish SPELT®-3 not only captures the best features of the Spanish SPELT®-Preschool and the Spanish SPELT®-2, but it elicits additional morphological and syntactical structures. It also samples the child's ability to use pragmatically appropriate language for various purposes. Utilizing the 13 large photographs, clinicians are able to identify areas of strength and weakness in the Spanish language of children ages 4-0 through 9-11. Children can readily identify with the scenes set in familiar surroundings (e.g., school, store, park), which facilitates responses. Normative data for both age and grade are based on children from across the country and from various Hispanic backgrounds. The manual summarizes early Spanish language development and provides an extensive resource for evaluating the responses of children from various Hispanic backgrounds. Based on the research available on language development in Spanish speakers, the content and format of the Spanish SPELT®-3 offer an efficient way to obtain data to aid in determining if a Spanish-speaking ELL student might have a language-based difficulty. A "must have" for the battery of probes to help decipher language difference from disorder in children whose first language is Spanish.
