Background: Clinicians use standardized assessments extensively in clinical and research settings to assess children's language skills and provide information for diagnosis, service eligibility, and intervention decisions. Aims:The study aimed at standardization of the newly designed and formatted "Arabic Language Test (ALT)" for the age range 4-8 years. Patients and Methods: Piloting of the test was done on 60 children with normal language development (15 from each one-year age) from 4-8 years old. The sample of standardization was 720 Egyptian children divided into four groups each of 180 children. Group A (4-5 years), group B (5-6 years), group C (6-7 years) and group D (7-8 years). 60 children were retested after 2 weeks by the same test to measure reliability (test-retest, Split half method and Alpha Cronbach). 80 children with language disordered were tested to measure validity (Internal consistency, contrasted group validity, judgement and face validities). Results: Highly significant scores were obtained for validity measures, as well as for reliability measures. Conclusion:The recently revised 4-8-year-old Arabic Language Test is a reliable and effective test that can be used to assess the language development of Egyptian children and detect language deficiencies in children of the same age.
