The CELF-Preschool^UK measures a broad range of expressive and receptive skills in young children. 

The CELF-Preschool^UK consists of 6 diagnostic subtests specifically designed for use with the younger child: 

• Linguistic Concepts - asks the child to follow directions that contain concepts containing logical operations 

• Basic Concepts - assesses ability to interpret oral directions that contain references to attributes, size, direction, location, position and quantity 

• Sentence Structure - examines the comprehension of early developing sentence formation rules 

• Recalling Sentences in Context - evaluates recall and reproduction of spoken sentences with conceptual support of a story 

• Formulating labels - examines naming ability 

• Word Structure - evaluates knowledge and use of morphological rules and forms 

What scores are available for the CELF-Preschool^UK? 

Raw subtest or composite scores for the 3 Receptive and 3 Expressive tests are readily converted into standard scores, confidence intervals, percentile ranks and age equivalents.

CELF Pre-school^UK and CELF -3^UK - UK Standardisation Studies 

Dr Ian Peers (Department of Communication Sciences, University of Sheffield) and Dr Peter Lloyd (Department of Psychology, University of Manchester) directed the UK project for both tests. Daily management was undertaken by Miss Caroline Foster, Research Assistant. 

The standardisation sample for both tests is representative of the UK population for the appropriate age ranges (3 to 7 years, and 6 to 16 years). The data collection project was one of the most comprehensive ever undertaken in the field of language development in the UK. The respective sample sizes of 588 and 568, coupled with the extensive US data and the long history of development of the CELF measures, the clinician with extremely reliable and valid diagnostic language tools. 

Each sample has been stratified according to age, gender, socioeconomic status, ethnicity and geographic region. 

Examiners were recruited to cover all UK regions. Extensive training, feedback to examiners and quality control procedures ensure that the UK normative data is of the highest quality. 

Extensive validity data, correlations with other language and cognitive measures, detailed psychometric data ensure that both clinicians and researchers can make the fullest use of the comprehensive results obtained from using the CELF-Preschool^UK and CELF -3^UK.
