Tailored reading app

Parent intake form

This helps me understand your child before we start, so the reading app fits them. It takes about 15 minutes. Answer what you can; “not sure” is a perfectly good answer.

1. You and your child

2. Reading and spelling now

3. School’s response

Has the teacher raised concerns about reading, spelling or language?
Has your child had a formal assessment (educational, psychological, speech-language or occupational therapy)?

4. Speech and language history

Did your child start talking later than other children?
Has your child had speech-language therapy?
Any history of frequent ear infections, grommets or hearing concerns?
Does your child have difficulty with any of these? Tick any that apply.

5. Attention and learning

6. Family history

Has anyone in the family (parents, brothers or sisters, grandparents) had difficulty with reading or spelling?
Has anyone in the family had speech or language difficulties?

7. Consent

This form is not an assessment and doesn’t lead to a diagnosis. If anything suggests your child would benefit from a formal assessment, I’ll tell you and suggest who to see.
