Specialized Reading Assessments
Reading is a complex process for students. When they experience challenges with reading, it can impact their performance in all academic areas. It is particularly important for a child to develop independent reading skills by the time they reach the end of the third grade.
In order to gain a better understanding of a student’s journey to becoming a reader,
a cognitive and detailed reading assessment can provide information to support programming and learning. A diagnostic reading assessment can determine the developmental reading skills that a student has already mastered and the skills
that they need to continue to develop in order to become as successful learner.
A comprehensive reading assessment can be particularly important for students who are not responding to interventions that have been provided at home and at school.
A detailed reading assessment can be used to pinpoint if a student’s challenges
are due to:
Verbal processing
Background knowledge
Phonological awareness
Comprehension
Fluency
Vocabulary
It is important to note that early intervention provides the best opportunity for success for students who are struggling with reading. Prior to a comprehensive reading assessment, it is recommended that a student has their vision and hearing checked to rule out any roadblocks that may be factors in their learning.
