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
