How can you tell if young bilingual children are making age-appropriate language progress? Use the Quick Interactive Language Screener™: English–Spanish (QUILS™: ES), a web-based, game-like screener for probing the language skills of English–Spanish bilingual children. Developed for use with children from ages 3 through 5, QUILS: ES measures not only language products (what the child already knows in both languages) but also language processes (how the child learns new words and grammar structures). Like the QUILS screener for children whose primary language is English, QUILS: ES looks at three critical areas: vocabulary, syntax, and process.

Early identification is the first step to helping young children with language delays improve their skills—proficiencies that are so important to later reading success. But how do you find the children who might need help? It’s simple with the Quick Interactive Language Screener™ (QUILS™), a fun and fast web-based screening tool that helps you evaluate whether children are making language progress appropriate for their age group. Measuring both the what and the how of language learning, QUILS looks at three areas critical to language development and later academic success: vocabulary, syntax, and process.
