The Test of Integrated Language & Literacy Skills™ (TILLS™) is a reliable, valid assessment used to test oral and written language skills in students ages 6—18 years. TILLS is a comprehensive, norm-referenced test that has been standardised for three purposes:

• To identify language/literacy disorders
• To document patterns of relative strengths and weaknesses
• To track changes in language and literacy skills over time

For use with the TILLS, or on its own, the TILLS Student Language Scale (SLS) is a simple, cost-effective way to screen for language and literacy disorders, including dyslexia. 

This quick and easy 12-question screener is filled out by parents, teachers, and students to show each party's perspective on how the student is performing on academic tasks as compared to their same-age peers.

The SLS helps you:

• Screen for language/literacy disorders such as dyslexia by gathering teachers' and parents' ratings of students. When teachers or parents rate more than two areas on items 1-8 less than 5, SLS results indicate the student is at risk and needs further assessment with TILLS
• Gather input about a struggling student's strengths and needs from multiple sources
• Enhance home–school communication by gaining new insight into student performance, whether or not there are concerns

The TILLS Student Language Scale (SLS) Form (pkg 50) (forms only) is also included in the TILLS Examiner's Kit.
