The Total Language Package includes both assessment tools and all programs at all 4 levels of understanding.

The Wise Words Screening Tool provides range of questions/instructions representing all four levels of Blank’s model.  It offers two questions/instructions at each level for each picture presented.  Space is provided beneath these questions for the clinician/teacher to transcribe the child’s response.  This simple screening tool can be used to plan goals for children and will monitor a child’s progress over time.

The Wise Words Screening Advantage offers an assessment tool which can be administered quickly. The provided tables enable a teacher or clinician to analyse responses, devise goals and track a child’s progress over time. The screener consists of 10 colour stimulus pictures with a range of questions/instructions representing all four levels of Blank’s model.

All 33 Wise Words Language programs/assessment tools are included in this package.  These programs have been designed to support a child’s language development from the early, concrete language of a younger child to the older child where the perceptual language distance has increased significantly and where language is used to problem solve and reason about materials and experiences. The Blank’s levels are fluid and the Wise Words Programs assist a child to work through each level to a higher level of understanding.  Each program can stand alone. There are a number of different programs available at Levels 2 – 4 to ensure firm understanding and assist in generalisation.  The instructions for the programs have been written for a lay person and give detailed information on how to use the program. All programs are printed in black and white to ensure fast, cost effective printing.
