Online one to one assessments being run for dyslexia

Online one to one assessments being run for dyslexia

While we are online and still not back to normal we would like to continue to run assessments for your children.

We are going to timetable the Burt word reading test to be done with your child starting Monday. Your child will be given a link in their email to meet with one of our teachers or teacher aides to a Zoom session. Testing will take a number of days so do not be surprised if it doesn't happen this week.

The Burt test is one of several tools that we will be using, as guided by the 'Learning Support Coordinator', Ann Hoover to check for dyslexia.

Parents do not under any circumstances help your child with this test. It will undermine the accuracy of the test and render it useless for learning purposes.

The people who are going to contact you are:

The famous Mr D. i.e. Mr Donaldson (Celtic, Warriors and Liverpool supporter and alias Tweedledum). Mr Donaldson is a long serving teacher at our school.

and Mrs Tracey Hinton (photo pending), teacher aide for Quick 60 and librarian extraordinaire.
