Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book presents a set of language scales, intended as a tool for use primarily in educational testing to evaluate children's language development. The scales are designed to rank children's ability to complete sentences according to specific criteria. The author provides specific instructions on how to administer and score the scales. At the outset, the author emphasizes that the purpose of the scales is not to evaluate grammar but rather children's overall language skills. Toward that end, the author developed 15 grading levels, from A to M, that range from "poor baby" to "man." The scales begin with single blank fill-in-the-blank sentences and then progress to more complex sentences with multiple blanks. While a few of the sentences in the scales relate to particular subject matter, such as weather or history, the emphasis is more general, focusing on children's use of language, including vocabulary, sentence structure, logic, and punctuation. The scales were designed to be used in a testing environment, but informal uses of the scales are also possible. For example, teachers could use the scales diagnostically for individual students, while researchers might want to use the scales in studying language acquisition. Pedagogically, the scales make clear that language development is not merely about teaching grammar, but rather about cultivating a child's overall ability to think and communicate effectively. Through both its theoretical underpinnings and its practical application, this book offers a valuable resource for advancing the educational landscape. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
