Assessment Testing
Reading Assessment
Our basic reading testing provides a thorough review of the skills that support the reading process. We look at phonological processing, rapid naming, symbol imagery, word attack and word recognition skills. We also measure the student’s reading, reading comprehension, vocabulary, spelling and oral comprehension skills. This assessment provides the information needed to understand the student’s reading issues and design a reading remediation program. When the student completes the instructional program, we again administer the Reading Assessment (at no charge) and meet with the parent to discuss the student’s progress.
Comprehension Assessment
For a thorough examination of reading comprehension skills we administer the Test of Reading Comprehension 4 and the Gray Silent Reading Test. This measure provides separate scores for Relational Vocabulary, Sentence Completion, Paragraph Construction, Text Comprehension and Contextual Fluency, and then provides an overall score for Reading Comprehension. These assessments helps us understand the student’s comprehension needs and design an effective remediation approach.
Writing Assessment
Test of Written Language 4 (TOWL-4) provides a thorough picture of the student’s current skill level. This test includes separate scores for Vocabulary, Spelling, Style, Logical Sentences, Sentence Combining, Contextual Conventions, Contextual Language and Story Construction. These subtests are then combined into composites; a Contrived Writing Composite and a Spontaneous Writing Composite. Finally, all of the subtests combine to provide an Overall Writing score. This assessment helps us understand the student’s needs and design an effective remediation approach.
