Harry age 7 years and 2 months (continued)

 

The test results confirm that Harry has reading difficulties; Reading Accuracy and Reading Rate are below average for his age. In contrast, Harry’s Reading Comprehension skills are developing well and measure within the average range for his age.

Harry’s profile of difficulties on the YARC indicates that he experiences specific reading difficulties - his profile is consistent with dyslexia. It is recommended that Harry receives specialist reading intervention. This should include reading instruction and linking letters with sounds in writing. It will also be helpful if Harry is administered YARC Early Reading to assess his letter sound knowledge and phonological awareness skills to provide a baseline against which to monitor his progress.
