What does a Tina Cowley Evaluation involve?
Before a child is enrolled at one of our centres, we conduct a personal one-on-one evaluation to fully understand their current level and specific needs.
Key areas we assess:
• Reading ability (accuracy and comprehension)
• Phonetic awareness (sound recognition and processing)
• Spelling level
• Visual skills (form perception, eye movement and focus)
• Auditory memory (listening and recall)
• Concentration and attention span
• Spatial orientation and sequencing
• General processing and learning skills
For more advanced readers:
We also include a more scientific reading analysis, which evaluates the technical side of the reading process, including:
• Reading speed
• Comprehension level
• Eye stops and regressions
• How much of a word is recognised at the first eye stop
• Overall reading efficiency
Duration:
The evaluation usually takes approximately 60–90 minutes.
Why is this important?
This allows us to:
• Identify strengths and challenges
• Place the child in the correct group
• Create a personalised development plan

Soms is dit NIE die leerder wat sukkel nie, maar die manier waarop ons as onderwysers daardie leerder benader. Ons houding, ons voorkoms en selfs die manier waarop ons praat, kan bepaal of ’n kind groei of stagneer.Ons raak so vasgevang daarin om die kurrikulum af te handel dat ons vergeet van die hart ❤️van onderwys – die kind.
Wanneer neem ons 5 of 10 minute om net te vra: “Hoe gaan dit regtig met jou?” Om te motiveer, om ’n lewensles te deel, of bloot om te luister na hoe hulle naweek was?
Vir baie leerders is die klaskamer hul veilige plek. Dit is waar hulle raakgesien wil word, waar hulle inspirasie soek. Soms lê daardie inspirasie nie in die werk nie, maar in jou optrede – hoe jy ander behandel, hoe jy groet, hoe jy glimlag. 🙂
Daardie eenvoudige glimlag van jou kan die rede wees waarom ’n kind nie opgee nie, maar weer probeer.
Onthou: Jy leer nie net ’n vak nie, jy vorm ’n mens.👩🏻🏫♥️

Reading develops higher levels of focus and concentration 📚
It forces the reader to figure things out in their own mind, especially topics they’re not familiar with. Reading and concentrating on one subject leads to enhanced focus. Some of us choose to concentrate on many things at once - and that's not really a good idea! By choosing to concentrate on one subject, you'll take in so much more information and remember it, even once you’ve put the book down.
At Tina Cowley we do a scientific test of your child’s reading, therefore we know how to address the problem.
