This is an assessment session to assess what class or classes would be a good fit for a student.  This assessment also gives the teacher information on what the student already knows and where they need help.  Since Orton Gillingham is a method that requires tailor-made lesson planning and instruction, this gives the teacher/tutor a starting place for planning the first lesson and a framework for future lessons.  This assessment will show the teacher and parents which class or classes would be a good fit for the student.  The materials used for this assessment include the Gallistel Ellis (GE) Test of Coding Skills and The Gallistel Ellis Auditory Drill.
