How much does a reading assessment cost?

Our comprehensive reading assessment is currently $450 ($650 value). This includes a complete literacy evaluation, a detailed written report with specific recommendations, and a follow-up consultation to discuss results and next steps. The assessment identifies exactly which reading skills are missing and provides a concrete intervention roadmap.

Can online reading assessments be accurate?

Yes, our virtual reading assessments are just as thorough and accurate as in-person evaluations. With 30+ years of experience, our specialist has refined techniques that work effectively online. We can observe reading behaviors, assess phonological awareness, evaluate decoding skills, and analyze writing samples through our virtual platform. Many families prefer virtual assessments for convenience, and we've successfully evaluated thousands of children online.

What if the reading assessment doesn't find anything wrong?

Every assessment provides valuable information. If your child's skills are on track, you'll have peace of mind and documentation of their current abilities. If there are subtle gaps that aren't causing major problems yet, we can identify them before they compound. And if your child is struggling despite adequate skills, we can identify other factors like processing differences or instructional mismatches. The assessment is valuable regardless of the outcome.

What ages can be assessed for reading skills?

We assess children from early elementary through high school. Children as young as 5-6 can be screened for early literacy skills and dyslexia risk factors. Comprehensive reading assessments are typically most detailed for children ages 6 and up. It's never too late for a reading assessment - we regularly evaluate middle and high school students who have been struggling for years.

What do I receive after the reading assessment?

You receive a comprehensive written report (typically 8-15 pages) that includes: detailed scores and analysis for each skill area assessed, identification of specific skill gaps, comparison to grade-level expectations, specific intervention recommendations, suggested accommodations for school, and a prioritized action plan. We also provide a follow-up consultation to review the report and answer questions.

Is this assessment the same as dyslexia testing?

Our comprehensive reading assessment includes all the components needed to identify dyslexia indicators, including phonological awareness, rapid naming, decoding, encoding, and more. While we cannot provide a medical diagnosis, our assessment identifies the specific skill patterns associated with dyslexia and other reading difficulties, providing the information needed for intervention planning and school advocacy.

Common Concerns

Questions Parents Ask

"This seems expensive..."

We understand. $450 is an investment. But consider this:

The average family spends $3,000-$5,000+ on tutoring that doesn't work because no one identified the real problem.
Students who struggle with reading are 4x more likely to drop out of high school.
The emotional cost of watching your child struggle - and lose confidence - is immeasurable.

An assessment that identifies the actual problem saves you thousands in misdirected intervention - and years of frustration.

"Can online assessment really be accurate?"

This is the most common question we get - and the answer is absolutely yes.

With 30+ years of experience, Enid has refined techniques that work equally well online.
We can observe reading behaviors, eye tracking, and hesitations just as well virtually.
Writing samples are photographed and analyzed in detail.
Children are often more relaxed at home, leading to more accurate results.

We've successfully assessed thousands of children online with the same accuracy as in-person evaluations.

"What if it doesn't find anything?"

Every assessment provides valuable information, regardless of the outcome:

If skills are on track: You get peace of mind and documentation of current abilities.
If subtle gaps exist: We catch them before they compound into bigger problems.
If something else is going on: We can identify processing differences, attention factors, or instructional mismatches.

Knowledge is power. You'll never regret understanding your child's reading profile.
