Lakeside's Comprehensive Reading Assessments
Lakeside Learning provides the most comprehensive diagnostic assessments. Our assessments help tell "the story" behind each of our students, resulting in a program that is appropriately targeted. The assessment approach focuses on an in-depth evaluation of the skills (especially phonologic) known to be related to reading success. The results of the comprehensive assessment establish a student's need for the program and pinpoint specific areas of strengths and weaknesses.
Diagnosis is the essential first step in successfully teaching a challenged reader to read - the earlier, the better. So many parents lose precious time by waiting; no amount of denial or rationalizing will change the situation. A child needs help before he fails. Children who go through the ReadyRead program early can follow the same express pathway to reading as their classmates. Later-identified children miss out on essential practice, making it more difficult to bridge the gap in their reading deficiencies.
