Hebrew and/or English Literacy Screener & Evaluation

2. Full Diagnostic Reading Assessment: We want to understand how your child learns so we can plan instruction that is informed, targeted and effective. We will analyze your child’s strengths, needs, and interests in each of the literacy learning domains, including phonemic awareness, symbol imagery, alphabetic principle, word attack, accuracy and fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. You will receive a written report that includes summary and analysis of the data collection, and suggestions for intervention. We will conduct a consultation to understand and discuss your child’s learning profile and to begin planning an intervention that is feasible and enjoyable.

“As a new Hebrew intervention specialist, Nechamy's coaching was the key to my successful school year. Nechamy has a flexible coaching style, a deep understanding of the "how" of fluent reading, and the ability to explain complicated concepts in a clear fashion. After one coaching session from Nechamy, I left with knowledge, tools, and strategies to help my students crack the code to Hebrew reading. Thank you Nechamy!”

“I have been so lucky and blessed to work with Nechamy! She has transformed our team at Darchai Menachem, allowing us to better aid and teach our students on both an individual and school-wide level. We are able to see first-hand how literacy success boosts our students’ confidence and spills over into their other areas of learning.”

“One specific time she helped me with a child who had a memory retention issue. She introduced letter mnemonics to me and modeled how to use it. It was a game changer, exactly what my student needed. I was so thankful. I wouldn’t have thought of that on my own. She guided me through it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Were you wondering too?

Do you offer any courses?

We find that individual coaching is much more conducive to learning than group a course. We find that every educator has a different sets of goals, different background knowledge and their students face different challenges. In order to optimize learning, we want to plan your coaching session around your unique needs and interests.
