Comprehensive Holistic Reading Evaluation

As educators, reading interventionists, and advocates, we recognize the importance of an independent and unbiased assessment to understand your child's true reading abilities. 

Unlike typical classroom assessments or standardized child study team evaluations, our approach is personalized and holistic. We thoroughly analyze your child's current reading level, strengths, and weaknesses based on your child's unique profile to provide a comprehensive understanding of their reading and writing skills. 

Our evaluation goes beyond surface-level scores, offering insights for further exploration and evidence-based interventions tailored to address specific challenges. We believe that difficulties in reading are multifaceted, and uncovering the root cause is crucial for your child's success. While districts only need to "consider" outside evaluations, this report will provide parents data and direction. 

1. Fill out and submit the Reading Evaluation Intake and complete and email the Wings2Learning Contract to [email protected] no later than 72 hours before your scheduled consultation. Additionally, ensure that the deposit is submitted according to the instructions outlined in the contract.

These forms are essential for the reading evaluation, as it helps identify the root causes of your child's reading challenges. The background information provided will create a detailed profile, supporting both the assessment process and the formulation of next steps in your advocacy journey. This ensures that your child receives comprehensive educational support tailored to their holistic needs. Please note that completing this form does not constitute the procurement of full advocacy services.
