Blanks levels look at the development of verbal reasoning in children eg categorising, sequencing, predicting, problem-solving and inferring. They are divided into 4 levels which follow a developmental sequence. The focus is on understanding sentences and being able to answer questions appropriately rather than on using correct sentences and grammar.
