"Samantha is a true gem!".
Samantha was the perfect match for our 9 yr. old son. After evaluation, Samantha prepared a plan with goals and within one month of services, Gregory was already showing improvements in his executive function abilities and writing. Samantha's positive energy and poise make a world of difference. Consequently, Gregory worked on his school assignments with pride and attention. The improvement was visible and we are thrilled with the results.

-with much gratitude, Deborah (Greg's mom)

Sydney was great!
Our son was sad to end his sessions with her, which says a lot. We appreciated her honest assessment of his skill level, and he now has materials to self-monitor and practice. Thank you!

Jill has been a wonderful tutor to our nine-year old daughter. Writing was one of her least favorite activities and she was initially quite distressed to find out that she would be working with a tutor – but Jill immediately put her at ease and she now absolutely looks forward to their sessions. I’ve seen my daughter’s confidence as a writer grow considerably – she now tackles school assignments with more focus and far less anxiety. Jill has also been working with her to improve reading comprehension and there’s been a notable difference in the types of books that our daughter now enjoys. Jill has made a huge impact and has helped our daughter with these essential foundational skills – I’m so glad has she has been a steady, caring and encouraging resource, especially given the recent and on-going COVID challenges.

We recently had our parent-teacher conference and received Max's Spring reports and thought you would enjoy knowing that Max is reading above grade level (M almost N) and he continues to LOVE reading. He's made significant progress in his fluency, has great comprehension, and is making deep personal and worldly connections to texts. At home and at school Max is an avid reader who often needs multiple reminders to close the book! For his birthday in February, he requested...BOOKS! He's really grown a lot this year and we had a wonderful parent-teacher conference. We wanted to thank you again for your significant contribution to making Max's transition to a new school so successful.

Online Comprehensive Literacy Assessments (Decoding, Spelling, Phonological Awareness, Reading Comprehension) $500

A high-quality literacy assessment provides detailed information about the specific literacy needs of your child.  The results can be used to develop an individualized tutoring plan that effectively targets the skills your child needs for literacy success. These results can only be used for tutoring purposes only. If you need data to help support getting or updating services for your child at their school, please consult with a state-licensed psychologist.

The literacy assessment takes approximately 1 ½ – 2 hours to administer and is divided into two sessions.  Once the literacy evaluator completes the assessment with your child, they will write a detailed report with their findings and suggested learning goals.  The report will be emailed to you within 5-7 business days (an expedited report is an additional $100 if you need it in less than 5 days) and the evaluator will schedule a 20-30 minute Zoom session to discuss the results and recommendations with you. Learn what reading levels are and the different reading levels between age groups. Discover the importance of the test for reading levels and some common assessment methods used to determine reading levels.

Online Writing Assessments ($200-$250)

Writing can be a source of frustration for many students because it is labor-intensive and requires a high level of organizational skills to pull all of the components together to fully express an idea.  The writing assessment will identify your child’s writing strengths and areas for continued development. These results can be used to develop an individualized tutoring plan that effectively targets the skills your child needs to improve their writing expertise.

The writing assessment takes approximately 1 hour to administer.  Once the literacy evaluator completes the writing assessment with your child, they will write a detailed report with their findings and suggested learning goals.  The report will be emailed to you within 5-7 business days (the expedited report is an additional $100 if you need it in less than 5 days) and the evaluator will schedule a 20-30 minute follow-up Zoom session to discuss the results and recommendations with you.

*Writing assessments are only $100 if bundled with a $500 literacy assessment.

The nature of the Reading Literacy Decoding Spelling Assessments is for tutoring purposes only. The literacy assessments performed by qualified professionals are effective for creating targeted literacy goals. IIf a diagnosis is needed for documentation to support a 504 Plan or an IEP, a referral will be necessary to an appropriate out-of-pocket neuropsychologist for a neuropsychological evaluation and potential diagnosis. Collaboration is maintained with top local neuropsychologists, and introductions can be arranged for a free consultation. Please note that these private neuropsychological out-of-pocket evaluations cost an average of $5,000-6,000. We have also compiled a list of low-cost neuropsychological evaluations.

Some children who display literacy weaknesses also experience delays in their expressive or expressive/receptive language skills (sometimes referred to as language processing skills). These children may show signs of a language disorder, so speech-language evaluations can be provided by licensed language pathologists who diagnose and treat students with language weaknesses

All evaluations by Brooklyn Letters professionals (speech/language and literacy) can be offered at your home.
