SPELLING ASSESSMENT
Word Encoding
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.

Noah
Noah began working with Educate Tutoring in Term Four to access academic support. He has been following a Spalding-based program focusing on the sound/symbol connection, word analysis and developing decoding and encoding skills. The graphs below show Noah’s spelling progress.

Please note these results were obtained through an individual Academic Intervention Program consisting of weekly one-hour tutorials over a seven month duration. Educate Tutoring cannot guarantee results as student progress is dependent on a range of factors including but not limited to:
• Consistent tuition attendance
• Family commitment and support
• Student engagement
