Basic Concepts Skill Screener (BCSS) is a fast, engaging screening app created by certified speech‑language pathologists to measure children’s understanding of basic concepts. Ideal for preschool through early elementary levels, BCSS assesses the concept knowledge needed for pre‑reading and math readiness. Its short sessions and child‑friendly design make it a valuable tool for busy clinicians, teachers, parents and caregivers. Why it matters An understanding of basic concepts helps children follow directions and forms the foundation for reading and mathematics. BCSS evaluates spatial (location), quantitative (number), comparative (description) and temporal (time) concepts, skills most students should master by first grade. Early identification and intervention can reduce the impact of delays on academic and extracurricular activities. What it can do • Collect information about a child’s grasp of basic concepts. • Supplement the data from a standardized language assessment. • Measure skill growth and treatment effectiveness over time. • Compare an individual’s performance with grade‑level peers. • Help educators and clinicians choose areas for targeted intervention. • Indicate how a student may perform on classroom assessments. • Aid in determining whether a language delay or disorder is present. • Identify children who may be at risk for learning disorders. How it works BCSS is designed for single‑player assessment. From the home page the facilitator can add a student, start a screening, access support or review reports. After selecting or adding a student, choose either the full screening (79 questions, about 10–15 minutes) or the quick screening (30 questions, about 5 minutes). Each concept appears with four pictures as answer choices. A tap on a picture marks the response and moves on to the next item. You can end the session at any time via the Done button to view results in the report center.

A must-have for your toolkit

I work with ages 3-7 in a school setting and frequently use this app for progress monitoring and as part of the assessment process in combination with other tests. The “long” version is comprehensive and the auto-generated reports are a huge plus! They are easily emailed and sync with the Therapy Report Center, which helps me keep my data in one place. The only small suggestion is that the quick screener could be improved by being slightly more age-specific (e.g. one for 3-4 year olds and one for 5-6 year olds). It is still very useful as it is now, just a minor suggestion :)

Great app great intervention!
Use as pre-post baseline &/or performance assessment for goal/objectives. I appreciate collected data in a reader friendly report for immediate share. I use frequently & glad to have this app, thank you creators & developers.

I use BCSS to keep track and measure the progress my kids have made over time. I don't track the individual concepts they have mastered, but rather their overall score on the screening. This lets me know if they're learning and retaining the general information. If I worked in a school I would probably use it as a screener. It doesn't have normed scores so I can't use it as a qualifying measure, but that's not how it was advertised anyway.

BCSS Ap Review

I LOVE this Ap. I work in a low income school with a high turn over rate of kiddos that transition in/out of my school. This Ap has been a great for me to collect baseline data on new kiddos as they enter my school. The kids enjoy answering the questions and are motivated to answer more. I like the quick screener for my pre-k kiddos due to attention span. I try to get my kindergarteners to complete the full screener. The only thing I'd change about this ap is-- I wish you could pause your "session" and continue. You must finish each "test" or redo to whole thing. I absolutely love the detailed reports that the Ap writes and parents love them too! I also love that the report includes the norms for typically developing peers. I use this ap all the time and it's a great way to collect baseline data on new kiddos-- or any kiddos working on goals with emebedded concepts.
