SCALE - Level 3 (Pre-Operational)

This document describes language skills at Level 3 (pre-operational) according to three criteria: structure, vocabulary, and comprehension. For structure, basic grammatical structures are controlled but errors sometimes interfere with meaning. For vocabulary, the range is limited and word choice may be inappropriate. For comprehension, understanding is accurate for common concrete topics but not for linguistic or situational complications.
