Evaluations

Assessing your child’s current level and struggles is a crucial step on the road to literacy success.

Hebrew or English Literacy Evaluation Includes:

1. Reading Screening: A comparison of your child’s scores on foundational skills to norm-referenced benchmarks to assess their academic level.

2. Full Diagnostic Reading Assessment: An analysis of your child’s strengths, challenges, and interests in each of the sub-components of reading such as phonemic awareness, symbol imagery, alphabetic principle, word attack, accuracy and fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension in order to create a customized learning plan. Following the evaluation, you’ll receive a written report and a one hour consultation where we will discuss and explain results as well as provide guided support in taking the next step of planning a tutoring route.

“As a new Hebrew intervention specialist, Nechamy's coaching was the key to my successful school year. Nechamy has a flexible coaching style, a deep understanding of the "how" of fluent reading, and the ability to explain complicated concepts in a clear fashion. After one coaching session from Nechamy, I left with knowledge, tools, and strategies to help my students crack the code to Hebrew reading. Thank you Nechamy!”

“I have been so lucky and blessed to work with Nechamy! She has transformed our team at Darchai Menachem, allowing us to better aid and teach our students on both an individual and school-wide level. We are able to see first-hand how literacy success boosts our students’ confidence and spills over into their other areas of learning.”

“One specific time she helped me with a child who had a memory retention issue. She introduced letter mnemonics to me and modeled how to use it. It was a game changer, exactly what my student needed. I was so thankful. I wouldn’t have thought of that on my own. She guided me through it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Were you wondering too?

Do you offer any courses?

We find that individual coaching is much more conducive to learning than group a course. We find that every educator has a different sets of goals, different background knowledge and their students face different challenges. In order to optimize learning, we want to plan your coaching session around your unique needs and interests.
