Overview
The Receptive-Expressive Emergent Language Scale-Third Edition (REEL-3; Bzoch, League, & Brown, 2006) is a norm-referenced caregiver interview that is typically used to screen for emergent language-learning problems, support clinical diagnosis, set intervention goals, and measure delays in infants with congenital problems and physical disabilities. The REEL-3 records parents’ observations of child behavior to identify major receptive and expressive language problems in infants and toddlers up to 3 years of age. The REEL-3 includes two core subtests, Receptive Language and Expressive Language, and a supplementary subtest, Inventory of Vocabulary Words. It yields an overall composite called the Language Ability Score.
