LITERACY ASSESSMENT:
​
Why have a Literacy Assessment?
​
1. Assessment can help determine your child's Language and Literacy strengths and weaknesses.
​
2. If you have been concerned that your child is falling behind at school, the assessments below could help to determine the extent of your child's difficulties.
​
3. The consultations and reports that accompany the assessments will provide you with standardised test results, commentary and recommendations for you, and the school your child attends.
​
4. The information provided by the consultations and reports can be used to enhance the Individual Learning Plan your child receives at school, and in the case of students diagnosed with a literacy and / or language disorder, can be used at Parent Support Group meetings for discussion.
​
5. Assessment reports can also be used, in certain circumstances, as referrals to other specialists.
​
​
The Learner Assist Literacy Assessment Option:
​
A Language and Literacy assessment is conducted using the: TILLS (Test of Integrated Language and Literacy Skills), COST spelling test or other, TOWRE-2, possibly the Neale Reading Analysis, and the CTOPP or PAST phonological awareness test. Other tests may also be administered.
​
The assessment report may act as a referral for further assessment by other specialists, or act as a stand-alone report. It includes test results, commentary and recommendations.
