Reading and Spelling Column Assessment and Report
Necessary pre-requisite
30-45 minutes
This assessment is a necessary pre-requisite to program entry as it allows us to determine firstly if your child is a suitable candidate for optimum progress and then if tuition is necessary, which program would be of most benefit. You will also receive a written report.
The assessment takes approximately 30-45 minutes, depending on the age of the student.
The McDuff English College can also provide an optional post-tuition assessment and report. This assessment complements the pre-tuition tests administered at the beginning of the program. They provide information on your child’s language development, including spelling and reading ages.
