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

Happy Easter from Tina Cowley Leessentrum! 🌸🐣

Wishing all our amazing learners, parents, and community a joyful Easter filled with happiness, fun, and new beginnings! May this special season bring lots of smiles, sweet moments, and a little extra time to relax and recharge.

We’re so grateful to be part of your learning journey—here’s to growing, learning, and achieving even more together!

Imagination lights up young minds!

Did you know that imagination stimulates the hippocampus and other sensory areas of the brain? It plays an important role in problem-solving, empathy development, creativity, and future planning.

At Tina Cowley Reading Centre, we help children unlock the power of imagination through structured reading programmes that build confidence, comprehension, and a lifelong love for learning.

Give your child the tools to think bigger, dream brighter, and succeed.
