Day 14: Checking My Answers
This test is a serious one. Some parents may choose not to let their children do this because they might be fearful of the outcome. I think this is important, because Dyslexia affects a relatively large proportion of kids here.
Even if you know your child is not dyslexic, this test will be useful to gauge the reading ability of your child, vis-a-vis her actual level. The test reveals that my P1 daughter is really reading at P3 level. This is a huge relief for her, because her confidence to read has always been low, as she always compares herself to her brother who is 4 years older.
Just a word of advice. Although it took only 8 minutes for my daughter to finish the test, it was very repetitive and somewhat boring. Just get ready to praise a lot and motivate your child as she is taking this test.
