Article: [senco-forum] dyslexia - screening/testing/assessment

Hello Phillipa
   
  I have a copy of your book and I have heard about your successful work in Dubai.
  I am also aware of Martin Turners work.
   
  I certainly didnt mean to give the impression in my posting that we never assess children in Devon! I did say in my email that we promote a careful process of assessment through teaching and appropriately targeted support for any pupil who needs it. 
   
  My point was that this is assessment to inform intervention  - not assessment with a purpose of identifying 'dyslexics', or a special group of students who qualify for a particular type of support.
   
  Hope this clarifies
   
  best wishes
   
  Julie
