TOEFL® Young Students Series

Now more than ever, countries are introducing English as a second language at earlier stages of learning. The TOEFL® Young Students Series helps you measure your students’ English-language skills and guide students to the next steps of learning. The tests are designed for age appropriate learning levels of young students. On top of reading books to nurture good English language skills, young parents can be assured that the TOEFL can be used to benchmark their children’s level of English proficiency.

The TOEFL Primary tests are the first step on a student’s path to reaching his or her full potential. The tests measure students’ English communication skills and progress in English classes — and provide meaningful feedback about their abilities to both you and their parents.

The TOEFL Primary tests are designed to:

  • Assess the general English-language proficiency of young students ages 8+
