Literacy Assessments

Stop guessing. Get a clear reading roadmap for your child.

Before you spend months on trial and error, find out exactly where your child stands and get a clear plan to move them forward.

You've tried curriculum after curriculum. You still don't know what's getting in the way.

If you've worked through program after program and reading still isn't clicking, the problem usually isn't effort. It's that no one has pinpointed where the gaps actually are. Our assessment gives you a clear picture of your child's strengths and weaknesses and a specialist who sits down with you to show you exactly what's getting in the way, then maps out a targeted plan, including which curriculums and intervention would truly fit your child.

The Questions You're Asking

You know your child is struggling. You just don't know why.

Most families come to us with the same questions. A literacy assessment is built to answer them.

?Why is my child struggling with reading?
?What skills actually need intervention?
?What should tutoring focus on?
?How will I know if tutoring is working?

Our assessment answers these with assessment-based recommendations and measurable goals, so you finally understand what's going on and what to do about it.

Who It's For

Common questions

A few things parents ask before booking.

Is this a dyslexia diagnosis? +

No. A literacy assessment identifies reading and spelling strengths and gaps and gives you a plan. It is not a formal psychoeducational evaluation or medical diagnosis. We're happy to point you toward diagnostic resources if that's your next step.

Do we have to enroll in tutoring afterward? +

Not at all. The report is yours to use however you'd like. Many families use it on its own; others use it as the on-ramp to our 1-on-1 program.

What ages is this for? +

We assess children ages 6 and up. If you're unsure whether it's the right fit, reach out and we'll talk it through.

How long does it take? +

The Essentials package includes about three hours of specialist time, typically spread across a few short sessions, plus your written report and consultation.
