			<h3>Features</h3>

			<p>PLS-5 provides assessment of preschoolers with new items for letter naming and book handling, and updated school readiness skills. Approximately 25 percent of PLS-5 items are new, 50% have been modified, and 25% are unchanged from PLS-4.</p>

			<ul>
				<li>The standardization sample matches updated U.S. Census figures for region, race/ethnicity, and level of caregiver education.</li>
				<li>Clinical studies include a developmental delay study and three language disorder studies (children with receptive language disorder, expressive language disorder, and both receptive and expressive disorder).</li>
				<li>Includes new language tasks such as assessing use of irregular plurals and synonyms, constructing sentences using two or three target words in the sentence, and answering questions about a story.</li>
				<li>Many of the manipulatives are plastic (including &ldquo;Mr. Bear&rdquo;) so they can be wiped clean after each administration.</li>
