The Reading Assessment
At The READy Clinic, every student begins with a comprehensive literacy assessment to determine their current reading level, identify learning gaps, and understand which foundational skills need further development. The results provide valuable insight into a student’s reading development for parents, READy Clinic instructors, and classroom teachers.
The assessment is designed to be a positive, supportive experience that helps students feel comfortable and confident. Using a combination of evidence-based tools, we identify each student’s strengths and areas of need, creating a detailed report that can be shared with families and schools to support a clear understanding of their learning profile.
The assessment takes approximately 45 minutes to complete and provides instructors with the information needed to guide instruction within our program and establish a baseline for tracking progress.
What the Assessment Includes
-
Evaluation of auditory, phonics, decoding, and word recognition skills
-
Detailed written report of findings and recommendations
-
Follow-up meeting with parents to review results and next steps
-
Baseline assessment used to measure progress over time
