TNL: Test of Narrative Language
Ages: 5-0 through 11-11
Testing Time: 15-20 minutes
Administration: Individual
The Test of Narrative Language (TNL) is an easy-to-administer test that:

identifies language impairments
measures the ability to answer literal and inferential comprehension questions
measures how well children use language in narrative discourse
serves as a natural complement to other standardized tests.
Whereas most measures of children's language examine their knowledge of the components of language, the TNL assesses how well children use their knowledge of the components of language as they engage in functional discourse.

About the TNL

The TNL utilizes three narrative formats:

No Picture cues:
* Examiners tell a story about two children who go to McDonald's with their mother

* Children answer comprehension questions

* Children retell the story;

Sequence Picture cues:
* Examiners tell a story that corresponds to five pictures about a class project that's ruined

* Children answer comprehension questions about the story

* Children tell a story that corresponds to five pictures about a boy who is late for school

Single Picture cues:
* Examiners tell a story that corresponds to a picture about a dragon in a cave

* Children answer comprehension questions about the story

* Children tell a story that corresponds to a picture about aliens landing in a park

The examiner audiotapes the administration of the TNL for later scoring on the user-friendly TNL Examiner Record Booklet. The three formats yield standard scores, percentile ranks for Narrative Comprehension and Oral Narration, and an overall standard score called the Index of Narrative Language Ability.
