The Impact of SES on Language Domain in Kindergartners' Quick Interactive Language Screener (QUILS) Performance
Weiler, Brian K.; Decker, Allyson L.
Communication Disorders Quarterly, v43 n2 p133-138 Feb 2022
To explore the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and language domain (vocabulary, syntax, process), the QUILS was administered to 212 kindergartners. Children from very-high poverty schools performed significantly below children from high poverty and mid-low poverty schools. SES impacts language-learning processes (i.e., fast mapping) in addition to language products (i.e., vocabulary, syntax).
