BENEFITS

Clear, colorful, easy-to-read reports are generated in an instant

Measures what’s important.

QUILS: ES screens key domains of language knowledge that predict a child’s later academic success.

Compares bilingual children to their peers.

Because QUILS: ES compares a child’s progress to that of other young children exposed to both English and Spanish, it’s sensitive enough to pinpoint potential language delays and difficulties in bilingual children.

Expert-developed, research-based, culturally neutral.

QUILS: ES was normed on bilingual English–Spanish students. All items were chosen by child language development experts and examined to reduce bias for any specific dialect.

Fun and engaging for kids. QUILS: ES includes interactive items and cute cartoon illustrations that engage young children's attention. It asks about learning new words (verbs, nouns, and adjectives) and how children use syntax, such as converting active sentences, tense markers, prepositions, and embedded clauses.

Accurate and time-saving. QUILS: ES is automated, allowing for immediate scoring without special training or Spanish fluency required. Results are instantly recorded and stored, and automatically generated scores and reports save time for busy teachers and supervisors.

Your new screener for early language skills! Children complete QUILS: ES with just a little supervision from any teacher, paraprofessional, or classroom volunteer. The adult supervising QUILS: ES doesn’t need to be a Spanish speaker.

Research shows close links between early language skills and school success—but too many children enter kindergarten with language delays that have gone unnoticed. QUILS is the fun, quick, and easy tool you need to catch potential language issues in the critical early years, so that interventions can start before delays become long-term difficulties.

QUILS: ES was tested with a normative sample of 362 children, grouped into 3-, 4-, and 5-year-old age bands. Psychometric studies have established the reliability and validity of QUILS: ES. Items in QUILS: ES were carefully selected to be culturally neutral, ensuring there is no gender bias.
