Elementary School Language Screeners + PLOP Template

Elementary School Language Screeners + PLOP Template TK–5th Grade · BICS-Focused · Bilingual-Responsive · ASHA-Aligned · Fully Editable Word Document

Seven grade-specific language screeners and a complete PLOP template all in one fully editable document, built for the real caseloads you are managing every Monday morning.

Each screener is aligned to ASHA developmental milestones for that grade band, with structured prompts, correct response criteria, and clear Pass / Monitor / Refer scoring built in. Open it in Word, type directly into the fields, and use it the same day.

What's inside:

Seven fully editable grade-level screeners — TK, Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade — each targeting receptive and expressive language skills appropriate for that age band. Every screener is editable so you can add student names, adjust scoring notes, and customize to fit your documentation system.

A PLOP template with sentence frames organized by domain, ready to fill in directly from screener results and paste into your IEP platform.

A clickable Table of Contents with hyperlinks so you can jump to any grade level or the PLOP template instantly — no scrolling through a long document to find what you need.

A How to Use page that walks you through the exact workflow from screener to IEP referral to full bilingual evaluation to eligibility determination, with a clear When to Refer vs Monitor decision guide.

Built for bilingual caseloads:

Spanish-influenced English features are documented throughout so you never score a language difference as a disorder. Every screener includes bilingual and EL considerations, and the PLOP template uses conceptual scoring language that holds up in evaluation reports and IEP meetings.

Important: This screener supports the referral and documentation process but does not replace a comprehensive bilingual evaluation. Under IDEA, eligibility requires a full evaluation battery including standardized measures, language sampling, and parent and teacher input administered in the student's primary language.

Designed by a bilingual SLP for speech therapy. Built for TK through 5th grade caseloads that needed this yesterday.
