Reading Screenings @ The Thinking Center
We are interested in why a student is having reading difficulties. We also like to rule out issues. Most issues deal with phonemic awareness, auditory processing and code knowledge - what someone knows about how the English language works automatically. We do discuss dyslexia, however, we are not interested in labeling a student - we are interested in getting the student to read.
Our Reading Screening consists of the following which allow us to cross-check skills:
- Woodcock Johnson Reading Components
- CTOPP (Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing)
- Revised Rosner
- DTLA (Detroit Test of Learning Aptitude - Visual Processing, Auditory Processing, Processing Speed)
- Interview (usually with Parents, Grandparents, CareGivers)
- Oral Reading Placement Test
There are other issues to think about when discussing reading struggles. For example, is tracking easy or hard for a student? Is the student light sensitive? How easy do the eyes converge or diverge? Our reading screening combined with the consultation allows us to work together to create a recommendation of intervention.
A Typical Reading Screening (1 hour Testing + 1 Hour Consult) = $250
Reading Screening W/O Consult = $150
There are 10 levels to becoming an automatic reader. We teach & train all of them at The Thinking Center. Click the picture to read about them.
