Solving a child’s reading challenges starts with “why.”
Children who have trouble with reading, spelling, comprehension, or writing typically have an underlying learning difficulty that’s not yet been identified. To determine how to best help your child, we first have to understand why they’re struggling. We offer best practices in the field of Scientifically-Based Reading Research and the National Reading Panel. These practices guide our assessment process.
Our assessments are:
Personal
We conduct assessments with one child at a time so they have our examiner’s full attention.
Comfortable
Most children feel nervous when their assessment begins. Our friendly team quickly puts them at ease so they enjoy the process.
Comprehensive
We gather both data and anecdotal information about how your child responds to the tasks. That way, we can understand how hard your child has to work to learn, process information, and solve problems.
Strengths-Oriented
As we interact with and observe your child, we’ll notice strengths that may not show up in traditional “test results.” This is critical information we can leverage to accelerate your child’s progress.
Research-Based
The assessment instruments we use are standardized, which means they provide objective data that’s easy to measure and track. Our tests are also nationally-normed, so we can see how well your child performs when compared to their grade-level peers.
Actionable
Our team considers your child’s test scores, examiner observations, and your input to identify their unique learning profile and to map out a customized action plan.
