A comprehensive reading evaluation is a
combination of various assessments of many academic and cognitive areas
associated with reading performance.
These include various areas of reading skills, in addition to measures
of math and spelling in order to compare academic competence.
It is a comprehensive evaluation consisting
of a variety of measures including:
Phonemic Awareness
Phonics skills

Math Calculation
Math Fluency
Spelling
Feedback will be provided on the day of the
evaluation or at a following date to give parents information regarding
their child’s performance. A
report will be provided within one to two weeks of the evaluation. The evaluation of reading processes is
used to gain information for parents and teachers regarding the
child’s instructional levels and areas of specific need. This information can be used to aid in
developing tutoring programs, IEP’s, 504 Plans, etc. It is particularly useful as there are
many available programs specifically addressed to remediate each of the
areas assessed.
