Orton-Gillingham Evaluation
Lesson Outline
After a brief tour of The Batt School, Sasha picked an office, and we got to work. I evaluated Sasha's phonics knowledge using the Quick Phonics Screener (QPS), followed by a diagnostic spelling test developed by Orton-Gillingham Fellow Susie Van Der Worst. The QPS revealed that Sasha struggles to decode and has memorized many words. The spelling test indicates difficulty with letter formation and a lack of mastery of basic spelling rules. Sasha will benefit from prescriptive reading instruction such as Orton-Gillingham. Sasha was a pleasure to teach; she was enthusiastic and receptive to instruction.
I look forward to working with her!

Lesson Comments
In my professional opinion, Sasha should have a thorough psycho-educational evaluation. I am not qualified to diagnose, but I suspect she is dyslexic. Her mother indicated that she has been diagnosed with ADHD and is unmedicated. I am curious if she receives any remediation or accommodations at Marsh Pointe. I advise aggressive remediation; she is only in second grade and a cheerful, happy kid. I would hate to see her spirit squashed when third-grade testing comes along.
