The child should repeat the word exactly as they hear it. If they are not sure of the word they should guess it, and if only part of a word is heard, then they should say that part. Present all the words in the list at the same sound level. Make a note of the result of each presentation on the results sheet. The test can be conducted aided and/or unaided. Use a different word list for each test.
Scoring: One point is assigned to each word correctly identified, and the score is expressed as percentage out of 100
