There is no set way to run an initial session with a student. We may use a formal assessment, whereas others might use a combination of different activities to assess what a student knows and what gaps they have in their knowledge. We can find a way what works for the students.

We have lots of resources that can be used in an initial assessment for a all student when we tutoring them in each English class.

We carry out a formal reading assessment for students, with in line the school terms. This way, we will align with the work they are completing at school and ensure that they achieve it. On assessment we look at different types of texts, so that they can find something that they will interesting to work with.
