Discover Their Strengths, Target Their Needs
Why Reading Assessments Matter?
Every struggling reader has a unique story. Some children need help breaking words apart, while others struggle to read smoothly or remember what they’ve read. Without a clear picture of which foundational skills are solid and which are missing, it’s nearly impossible to give them the right support.
That’s why we offer comprehensive, research-based Foundational Literacy Assessments. Grounded in the Science of Reading and the Orton-Gillingham approach, these assessments go beyond a grade-level test. They identify the exact breakdown that’s making reading hard for your child.
We offer assessments both at our Carmel learning center and virtually. Whether you’re local or out-of-state, your child can receive the same high-quality, research-based evaluation in a format that works best for your family.
What We Assess:
Our assessment is designed to evaluate the full spectrum of foundational reading skills:
Phonemic Awareness
Can your child hear, identify, and manipulate the individual sounds in words?
(The foundation of all reading and spelling success.)
Decoding & Encoding
How accurately and automatically can your child sound out unfamiliar words and spell words using phonics patterns?
Fluency
How smoothly, accurately, and with what speed does your child read connected text?
Word Recognition
Has your child built automatic recognition of high-frequency words?
What Makes This Assessment Different
Many tests simply give a grade-level equivalent or percentile rank. Our assessment digs deeper. Using Orton-Gillingham-informed, evidence-based tools, we:
-
Identify the specific phonics skills your child has mastered and which they are missing.
-
Pinpoint where reading breaks down - is it sound awareness, blending, fluency, or spelling?
-
Provide clear next steps, so there’s no guessing about what instruction your child needs.
This is not a “one-size-fits-all” evaluation. It’s a personalized diagnostic tool that creates a roadmap for your child’s reading success.
What Parents Receive
After the assessment, you’ll receive a detailed written report that includes:
✔️ Your child’s scores on each section of the assessment.
️✔️ A clear analysis of their strengths and areas of need.
✔️ Their current reading level.
✔️ Tailored instructional recommendations grounded in the Science of Reading, so you’ll know exactly how to help your child move forward.
