Reading Assessment 

​

The purpose of our reading assessment service is to know the difficulties of the student associated with reading, writing, spelling, and comprehension and it is mandatory before our therapeutic tutoring so that we can give him the right solutions with 100% success to his learning challenges. Therefore we do not have the service to write the report.

​

Our current service fee, no written report is 395.00 Canadian dollars plus taxes and a retainer deposit of $200 is required to book the assessment. This retainer fee is refundable 5 business days or more before the first appointment. The remaining balance is due 24 hours before the parent's meeting.

​

​

What is included with our service fee only, no written report

• Student's test: reading, basic writing, handwriting, spelling, and comprehension in a person-to-person on-site, or online service, approximately 2 meetings, with a total of approximately 2 hrs & 30 mins

• Preparation for the parent meeting: checking, recording, and analyzing the student's test results, psychological evaluation, IEP, sample work, other submitted documents, etc. approximately 4 hrs.

• A parent meeting to discuss the test results, analysis, recommendations & strategies for parents with an allotted time of 1 hour.

​​

An evaluation for reading, basic writing, handwriting, spelling, and comprehension is mandatory before our literacy intervention, remediation & prevention are initiated. It is also very helpful to individualize your child's learning needs and develop an appropriate learning plan if you provide us with the family background information, a copy of your child's psychological assessment, and the school's performance report,(IEP, a sample of his works: writings, tests, etc.).

 

Our assessment measures the student's decoding, receptive, and writing skills. The test of the alphabet, accuracy of reading, matching of spoken words to print, and understanding the meaning of words and sentences in a passage reading are all part of the decoding assessment. Some of the receptive language portions of the test include comprehending the words and text being read, matching the pictures to the meaning they represent, as well as connecting the sounds and words being read. The written part deals with the student's ability in handwriting and basic writing, such as the letter formations, how the student grasps the pen or pencil, the execution and legibility of his handwriting, and how the student expresses himself in print.

 

The results of the evaluation will help to identify if the student has the signs and symptoms of dyslexia and the test will also lead us to the student's solutions to his reading, writing, spelling, handwriting, and comprehension difficulties.

​​

Why is it necessary?

• To tailor the student's specific needs and save time: the student's psychological evaluation report is not comprehensive in teaching him how to read, write, spell, and comprehend. It will only give us the results of different tests. It does not include what concepts the student knows and what he does not know, and other underlying literacy challenges that he may have; for example, most students know some sounds, they just do not know how to connect the sounds

• To build up the student's self-confidence and self-esteem particularly, during the first 15 sessions. Do you know that even a grade one student knows if he is far behind in reading and most of them are blaming themselves that they cannot read while most of their classmates can? With our expert literacy instruction, your child's self-confidence and self-esteem will skyrocket and it starts during his first session with us!

• Not everyone can learn to read and our expert Reading Specialist will know if your child can learn to read with only one question to ask during the first few minutes of the testing; if he cannot, the parents have the option to know the possible method to help him with his difficulties or to receive a 100% refund of our reading assessment service fee.
