Assessments & Support

Let's find out what your child needs next.

Your child is trying. You're doing your best to help. Yet reading, spelling or writing still feels harder than it should.

You might be wondering, Do we just need more practice, or is there something we're missing?

That's where I can help.

At Coded Pathways, I combine specialist literacy assessments with personalised, evidence-informed intervention to understand what your child needs and how we can help them move forward.

Available online Australia-wide and in person in Bendigo.

Comprehensive Literacy Assessments

Looking beyond the right and wrong answers

When I assess a child, I'm interested in much more than whether they can read a word or spell it correctly.

I'm looking at how they're approaching the task, what they can do independently and where things start to get tricky.

I explore how their reading, spelling and writing skills are developing, including accuracy, fluency and how consistently they can apply what they've learnt.

Those observations help me build a clearer picture of their strengths and the skills that need attention.

What will you take away?

You'll receive a comprehensive written report that brings everything together, including:

  • Your child's literacy strengths and areas needing support.

  • An explanation of what's contributing to their difficulties.

  • Prioritised recommendations for home and school.

  • Clear next steps for supporting their learning.

The goal? To make sure we're focusing on the skills your child actually needs to learn next.

Personalised Literacy Intervention

Where understanding turns into purposeful teaching

Once we understand a child's learning needs, we can make better decisions about what to teach.

As a Sounds-Write practitioner, I use explicit, structured literacy teaching, adapting activities and support to meet each child's needs.

You'll often find us manipulating words, exploring spelling patterns, thinking carefully about sounds and celebrating those little moments when something finally clicks!

I pay attention to how children respond, where they're making progress and what still needs support.

The pathway isn't the same for every child. That's exactly the point.

Not every assessment leads to ongoing intervention. Sometimes the recommendations give families and schools the direction they need to continue supporting a child.

How do we get started?

1. Tell me what you've been noticing.

Get in touch and share a little about your child's reading, spelling or writing.

I'll help you explore whether a comprehensive literacy assessment is the right starting point.

2. Let's build a clearer picture.

Through assessment, I'll explore your child's literacy skills and bring the findings together in a detailed, personalised report.

3. Find the next steps.

You'll have recommendations to guide support at home and school, along with a

clearer understanding of whether targeted intervention would be helpful.

Wondering if an assessment is the right next step?

You don't need to have all the answers before getting in touch. That's what we're here to work towards!

I'd love to hear a little about your child and what you've been noticing.

Questions are always welcome, even if you're not quite ready to book.

“She made my daughter feel comfortable and understood throughout the literacy assessment, and explained everything so clearly to me. It was honestly such a positive experience, and we walked away with a much better understanding of how to support my daughter.”
— Parent of a Year 2 learner
“Since learning more about how Sophie learns and understanding the best ways to support her, the improvement in her reading and writing has been incredible. She has gained so much confidence in herself and genuinely loves reading now. Sophie can now confidently decode unfamiliar words rather than guessing or getting stuck.”
— Parent of Sophie, Year 2
