  • Pupil report overview: very high need level, risks across dyslexia, dyscalculia and executive function, strengths and challenges
  • Pupil profile chart from a sample report: standard scores in eight areas compared with pupils of the same age, from visual reasoning (117, high) to spelling (73, low)
  • How to support Emily

    For the class teacher. Strategies to use in class.

    Target recurring spelling errors

    Because spelling scores were low.

    Pick one recurring error from Emilyโ€™s writing and teach the strategy that fits it, such as grouping words by a shared pattern.

    Build in blending and segmenting practice

    Because phonological and decoding scores were low.

    A few short chances each week to blend sounds in unfamiliar words, and split spoken words into sounds before spelling.

    Break tasks into a short visible sequence

    Because working memory scores were low.

    Write longer instructions as two or three clear steps, and ask Emily to tick off each part as itโ€™s done.

  • Pupil report overview from Emily Hargreavesโ€™ sample report: need level very high; risks: dyslexia very likely, signs of dyscalculia, no executive function challenges flagged; strengths and challenges: visual reasoning high, number understanding very low, spelling low.
  • Pupil profile from Emily Hargreavesโ€™ sample report: standard scores by area, from visual reasoning 117 (high) to spelling 73 (low).
