Overview
The Test of Language Development, Intermediate-Fourth Edition (TOLD: I-4; Newcomer & Hammill, 2008), appropriate for individuals from ages 8 through 17 years, 11 months, is an individually-administered, norm-referenced measure of oral language proficiency. It consists of six core subtests that measure semantics and grammar skills. Subtests include Sentence Combining, Picture Vocabulary, Word Ordering, Relational Vocabulary, Morphological Comprehension, and Multiple Meanings. Two subtests measure listening abilities; two measure organizing abilities; and two measure speaking abilities. The combination of all six subtests represents overall Spoken Language. Compared with its predecessor, the Fourth Edition offers updated norms, a more user-friendly manual, new studies, elimination of floor and ceiling effects, a new subtest, and an expanded age range. Computer scoring software is available.
