Abstract:
This document provides information for the literacy practitioner regarding both an informal learner assessment which can be useful in planning instruction and the process of formal assessment by a trained professional. Included are screening, the three broad areas of learning related problems (vision/hearing and/or auditory/visual, academic performance, behaviors/psychological manifestations), and references.
