A Closer Look: An Example Assessment

For example, consider our sample assessment for a 7th grader. In this evaluation, we discovered that while the student demonstrates strong decoding skills, reading comprehension is limited by a tendency to dissociate during reading. This means that despite reading accurately, key details can be missed. Similarly, the writing sample showed good sequencing and detail but relied on simple sentence structures and basic transitions. The report offers clear, tailored recommendations—such as engaging reading strategies and creative writing prompts—that connect academic work with personal interests and future goals.

This isn’t just about pinpointing challenges—it’s about understanding your child’s unique learning style and providing a roadmap for real improvement.
