Expressive Vocabulary Checklist

I developed this Expressive Vocabulary Checklist as an alternative to a more popular vocabulary checklist. Some differences:

• There is no childish imagery on this checklist, making it appropriate for all ages

• I've added some popular technology words (e.g. iPad)

• There is an extra column that can be used for a home language, sign language, or AAC

• A legend on the front page, which can indicate separate administrations of the checklist. You could use it to differentiate between home/school or different points in time.

Here is the checklist:

Here is the tally sheet (Excel spreadsheet):

Enjoy!
