The Importance of Early Assessment
Many children who struggle with reading are simply waiting for the right kind of instruction. A thorough assessment reveals the specific gaps in a child's literacy skills — so tutoring can be targeted, efficient, and effective from day one.
Without assessment, tutoring can miss the mark. With it, every session is purposeful and every lesson builds toward measurable progress.
What the Assessment Covers
Letter Sound Knowledge
We evaluate how well your child knows individual letter sounds and letter combinations — the building blocks of decoding.
Decoding & Word Attack
We assess your child's ability to sound out unfamiliar words using phonics strategies, including nonsense word reading.
Sight Word Recognition
We measure automatic recognition of high-frequency words that appear most often in text.
Reading Fluency
We evaluate reading rate, accuracy, and expression — key indicators of reading automaticity and comprehension readiness.
Spelling & Written Expression
We look at how your child applies phonics knowledge in spelling and written tasks.
Reading Comprehension
We assess your child's ability to understand, recall, and make inferences from what they read.
