Edublox Online Tutor has developed an Online Assessment to enable parents and teachers to identify problem areas, to assess a child’s current reading ability as described in reading ages from 6 to 12+ years. Over and above reading age, four cognitive skills are assessed, giving a clear indication of which Edublox Online Tutor product suits the child’s needs best. Edublox Online Tutor offers one free assessment per learner.

Visual sequential memory – Sequencing refers to our ability to perceive items in a specific order, and to remember that sequence e.g. months of the year, a telephone number, the alphabet.
Auditory memory – Auditory memory involves being able to take information that is presented verbally, to process that information, store it in one’s mind and then recall what one has heard. Basically, it involves the skills of attending, listening, processing, storing and recalling.
Eye span – By increasing the learner’s eye span, the number of fixations, the duration of the fixations and regressive movements can be reduced, leading to faster and smoother reading.
Logical thinking – Logical thinking is the process in which one uses reasoning consistently to come to a conclusion and is a foundational skill of reading comprehension.
