Montgomery Assessment of Vocabulary Acquisition (2008) L-21
Free
Description
The MAVA measures two of the four types of vocabulary, listening and speaking. (The other two types are reading and writing.) It was designed to measure the development of children’s oral language by asessing listening and speaking vocabulary. Because oral langauge precedes reading and writing, it serves as an excellent predictor of literacy skills. It also informs teachers and specialists of the words or concepts that require extra attention in the classroom. And, it guides special educators and parents toward appropriate intervention plans and IEP goals. The words were selected using the three word tiers identified by Beck, McKeown and Kucan (2002)., and are assigned depending on their characteristics of meaning and use. Tier 1 words are the most basic; tier 2 words are high frequency words; tier 3 words are related to specific domains and have a low frequency. Accepted test by Medicaid. 3’0-12’11 Norm-Referenced Montgomery Super Duper
