Literacy Assessments
Every Child's Reading Journey Begins Here
A literacy assessment is the first step in understanding how your child learns to read. Before instruction begins, we take time to identify your child's strengths, uncover areas where they may need additional support, and develop a personalized plan for growth.
Our assessments provide valuable insight so families can move forward with confidence and clarity.
Why Does My Child Need a Literacy Assessment?
Reading challenges can have many different causes. An assessment helps us identify exactly where your child is thriving and where targeted instruction can make the greatest impact.
Whether your child is struggling to learn letter sounds, decode words, read fluently, or understand what they read, a comprehensive assessment allows us to build a plan that meets their unique needs.

Each assessment is conducted in a supportive, child friendly environment where students are encouraged to do their best without pressure.
What Happens After the Assessment?
After the assessment, we'll review your child's results with you and explain what they tell us about your child's current reading development.
You'll receive:
• A clear explanation of your child's strengths
• Areas that may need additional support
• Personalized recommendations
• Suggested next steps
• Information about placement in one of our Literacy Pods, if appropriate
Our goal is to give families the information they need to make informed decisions about their child's literacy journey.
