Initial Assessment &

Dyslexia Screening

- For a student’s first session, a range of criterion-referenced tests are administered to help us identify the student’s strengths and weaknesses. These assessments can also be used as a dyslexia screener.

Testing takes approximately 60 minutes followed by a debriefing with parents to review observations and testing results. The debriefing can take place immediately after testing in our office or can be scheduled to take place over the phone. A written report is NOT included, but a report can be provided for an additional fee.

Areas assessed:

Rapid Naming
Phonological Awareness
Word level decoding
Phonetic Spelling
Irregular sight words for reading and spelling
Vocabulary Screening
Reading accuracy, fluency, and comprehension

A combination of the following assessments are used: Phonological Awareness Screener, TOWRE-2, CTOPP-2, TWS-5, DIBELS 8, Phonetic Decoding Assessment, Spelling Phonetic Words, Irregular Words Assessment, reading of text passage with comprehension, vocabulary screener, (GORT-5 and full CTOPP2 are used when a formal report is requested - see Assessment with Report )

Instructional Sessions

Our instruction is based on the most current reading research. We use two instructional approaches: Orton-Gillingham and linguistic phonics. OG combines multisensory techniques (auditory, kinesthetic, tactile, and visual learning pathways) with the structure of the English language. Topics covered include: phonemic awareness, phonics, syllabication patterns, spelling generalizations, non-phonetic sight words, common spelling rules, affixes, roots, basic grammar, and writing mechanics.

Like OG, Linguistic phonics is a synthetic phonics approach. Linguistic phonics instruction focuses on teaching the alphabetic principle: our written language is a code where letters (graphemes) represent speech sounds (phonemes). Instruction is centered around teaching the 44 English phonemes and their symbolic representations. It is an instructional approach that integrates teaching phonemic awareness, the alphabetic code, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and morphology through a handful of core activities. Both approaches teach the same foundational skills but with different instructional routines.

Sessions are typically 60 minutes long and take place at our office in Bedminster, NJ unless otherwise arranged. An additional fee may apply if travel is required. No shows or cancellations that occur less than 2 hours before the start of a session are charged the full session fee.

Online sessions are also available.
