Learning Sessions

To assist instructional planning and teaching, students are assessed prior to commencing learning sessions.

The initial entry diagnostic assessment is usually completed over one or two sessions and provides information on:

• phonological awareness (ability to identify and manipulate sounds in spoken language)
• letter-sound correspondences
• encoding (spelling) 
• decoding (reading) 

A written analysis and summary of the assessment is provided.

*ReadsWell does not diagnose Dyslexia. The Australian Dyslexia Association provides an affordable pre-assessment screening service. Comprehensive assessments can be obtained through an Educational psychologist.  

One-on-one learning sessions are:

• 60 minutes duration
• once or twice weekly (recommended), within the school term framework
• personalised and paced to meet individual learning needs
• emotionally sound - students are supported and met "right where they are", gain confidence in their abilities and experience tangible success in their learning
