At the time of initial assessment, Noah’s chronological age was 9 years and 9 months. His equivalent spelling age was 8 years and 2 months. After only four months of tutoring when Noah’s chronological age was 10 years and 1 month, his equivalent spelling age was 9 years and 6 months. This showed an overall increase of 16 months, showing that he had begun to close the gap. This showed an overall increase of 12 months from his initial assessment, which now showed that he was now spelling only 5 months below the expected standard for his chronological age.
