Entry and exit testing as
well as test analysis are extremely important at The Forest
Hill Reading Clinic.
All testing is done using The Remediation Plus System, and
a written report is prepared and given to parents. Parents
are encouraged to share this information with the school principal
and classroom teacher.
These tests clearly reveal whether the student can truly segment
words and blend phonemes or whether they are "guessing"
and drawing on a memorised word bank. Testing also accurately
indicates the Reading and Spelling grade level. Initial testing
is a two hour process .
