The WellComm Toolkit in our portfolio<br />

Difficulties with language can have catastrophic and long-term effects<br />

on the progression of a child’s overall development. It is vital that<br />

language skills are frequently monitored so that any problems or<br />

delays can be identified and addressed as early as possible. The<br />

WellComm Toolkit is an ideal screening tool that can be used prior to<br />

any of <strong>GL</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong>’s literacy assessments, such as New Group<br />

Reading Test (pages 24–27) and the York <strong>Assessment</strong> of<br />

Reading for Comprehension: Primary and Secondary (pages<br />

28–31) to identify young children at risk of developing delayed<br />

language skills.<br />
