The initial in-depth assessment provides invaluable
information that enables us to understand how the individual is reading. We
examine the individual’s auditory processing, phonological, reading, and
spelling skills to both benchmark those skills and to predict how much time
would likely be required to enable the student to read and write
efficiently.
Regular progress assessments are also an important part of the
Spell Read program. They allow us to measure the success of our intervention at
various stages in the process and to make changes in programming if
required.
The final or exit assessment gives a clear picture of the
growth in phonological , reading and spelling skills, by comparing the initial
and the final level of skill in these areas. The objective is to provide
concrete evidence that the student has developed efficient reading and spelling
skills, in addition to the inevitable improvement in confidence and ability to
achieve academically.
