6-8th Grade Middle School Language Screener + PLOP Template

6th–8th Grade MS Language Screener + PLOP Template Speech-Language · BICS-Focused · Bilingual-Responsive · Editable Word Document

Everything you need to screen and document middle school language in one fully editable, ready-to-use bundle.

This resource was built specifically for clinicians working with 6th through 8th graders, including bilingual students and English learners. It takes the guesswork out of functional language screening at the secondary level and makes PLOP writing faster, more consistent, and easier to justify.

The bundle includes two fully editable documents:

6th–8th Grade MS Language Screener A BICS-focused screener aligned to ASHA milestones for ages 11–14, covering 10 scored items across receptive and expressive language, two supplemental story comprehension probes, a built-in scoring guide with Pass/Monitor/Refer criteria, and a Difference vs. Disorder appendix covering 12 documented Spanish-influenced English features. Customize the student info panel, add your school or agency name, and adjust any items to fit your caseload.

Middle School PLOP Template Welligent-ready sentence frames organized by domain across receptive language, expressive language, pragmatics, narrative language, and intelligibility. Includes a phrase bank tied directly to each screener item, a bilingual EL paste-in, a completed sample paragraph, and quick reminders for bilingual documentation. Every field is editable so you can fill in brackets, delete domains that don't apply, and paste directly into your system.

Why clinicians love this format: Open it in Word or Google Docs, type directly into the brackets, delete what you don't need, and paste into Welligent. No reformatting, no starting from scratch, no hunting for the right phrasing mid-session.

Designed by a bilingual SLP for speech therapy. Built for real secondary caseloads.
