The BBCS–4:R serves as a developmental assessment for young children ages 3 years to 7 years, 11 months, to evaluate their school readiness skills. It assesses their comprehension of basic concepts crucial for classroom conversations, teacher directions, and school curricula. Concept knowledge is a key predictor of language development, cognitive functioning, and school readiness.
Especially valuable for psychologists working with developmental delays, autism, selective mutism, and hearing impairments, as well as educators and speech-language pathologists, the BBCS–4:R uses a nonverbal point-and-respond format. It also provides test results compared to national norms.
Key Benefits:
Mastery Assessment: Determine if a child has acquired basic concepts related to school readiness.
Intervention Planning: Identify deficits in concept development for effective intervention planning.
Alignment with Standards: Compare assessment outcomes to each state’s early childhood educational standards.
Diverse Evaluation: Facilitate assessments for children with limited verbal expression using a pointing response mode.
Comparative Analysis: Compare receptive conceptual knowledge with BBCS–4:R.
Inclusivity: Assess diverse populations with inclusive, developmentally appropriate, colorful, and engaging artwork.
Spanish Language Support: Evaluate Spanish-speaking students with the Spanish translation of BBCS–4:R Record Forms.
Key Features:
Comprehensive Concepts: Assess over 320 foundational, functionally and educationally relevant concepts in 10 conceptual categories including Colors, Letters, Numbers/Counting, Sizes/Comparisons, Shapes, Self-/Social Awareness, Direction/Position, Texture/Material, Quantity, and Time/Sequence.
Inclusive Review: Items and artwork reviewed for content and cultural bias by experts in speech-language pathology and education.
STEM/STEAM Focus: Includes more than 150 concepts frequently associated with science, technology, engineering, arts, and math.
Use the BBCS–4:R to assess areas of school readiness that make a lasting impact on children's lives.
