Pre-Reading Screenings for students before the second half of 1st grade
Children who test below average in phonemic awareness, rapid, naming, and auditory memory skills are highly at risk for a reading disability. Early screening is recommended if there is a family history of reading difficulties, late reading, or poor adult spellers.
The Slingerland Pre-Screening evaluates typically developing children in the second half of kindergarten or beginning 1st grade who have not received formal reading instruction. The purpose of this screening is to help identify the academic needs of children entering 1st grade and determine if there are indications of a Specific Language Disability. The Slingerland Pre-Reading Screening can indicate early signs of a later reading struggle.
If you suspect your child may have difficulty reading, this screening is for you. Research tells us that we can teach a child at risk for reading struggles using the proper method and approach without intervention. There is evidence that early intervention improves a child's ability to read fluently and accurately over a lifetime. Test results give you, the parent, information vital to teaching your child to read or advocating for your child in school. The Slingerland Pre-Reading Screening takes one-and-a-half hours. The cost is $460, and it includes a follow-up consultation and a written report.
