Assessment

Our assessments identify a student's current knowledge, skills and areas of need. The informal assessments are used to determine which level of intervention will be most beneficial and to develop a customized plan to address the student's needs. These assessments are not diagnostic psychoeducational evaluations. Should you be seeking a formal diagnostic evaluation, please scroll down for recommendations of professionals who can provide this service.

The assessments we perform are the WIST (Word Identification and Spelling Test) which is a standardized test providing age/grade level equivalency. Another assessment that is offered is the WADE (Wilson Assessment of Decoding and Encoding).

Both assessments identify:

Letter knowledge
Sound-letter relationships
Phonemic awareness
Reading real words and sight words
Decoding skills testing a student's ability to read unknown words
Syllabication knowledge
Spelling real words and sight words
Encoding skills testing a student's ability to spell unknown words
Writing sample

These assessments are done prior to, or at the first tutoring session. The assessment results are shared with parents. An optional written report of findings is available.

Ongoing-assessment and progress monitoring:

progress monitoring measuring accuracy & mastery of skills
post-testing administered at the end of each level

Other assessments may include:

Reading level
Comprehension skills
Reading fluency
