SCREEN with the SLS

First, you’ll identify at-risk students with the evidence-based Student Language Scale (SLS), a quick and easy one-page screener filled out by the teacher, parent, and student. Complete in less than five minutes, the SLS helps you gather input about a struggling student’s strengths and needs and determine whether they need further assessment.

LEARN ABOUT SLS: You can also use the SLS as a standalone screener—see page 22 to learn more!

DIAGNOSE with TILLS

After the SLS helps you identify children at risk for a language/ literacy disorder, use TILLS for diagnosis. Through 15 subtests, you’ll assess and compare the full range of students’ oral and written language and literacy skills. The resulting scores and the powerful, at-a-glance TILLS Profile help you identify and track a student’s strengths and weaknesses—information you’ll use as you develop customized interventions.

POWERFUL TILLS PROFILES give you an at-a-glance understanding of student strengths and needs.
