Article: [senco-forum] Update on pupil who fails to "recall/recognise" multisyllable words she has blended

Hi to all those who asked lots of questions and provided lots of advice.

 

One person, can't recall who, suggested I assess using PhAB.  Well instead I
used the CTOPP.  It's age appropriate (she's 14) , similar test thought, but
with more subtests.  What a great piece of advice (among other useful
pieces) - because I can now give more empirical evidence.

 

Basically - all the phonological awareness and phonological memory tests
were in the average range (around Standardized score of 100 or higher).
These scores are only good now, because we have spent so much time on them
all - they were weak.  Whereas, all the "naming" tests were in the below
average range i.e. below standardised score 85!  So I'm feeling more and
more confident that it is a word finding difficulty. 

 

Best wishes

Sharon
