[quote=Anonymous] One other thing . . . eCart cannot hear your child read. One of the best "assessments" I do is to get the child to read to me. I can "hear" what the child is missing in terms of pronunciation and I can correct the child and ask right then whether the child understands certain words (a vocabulary check). Reading comprehension involves more than just sounding out words on a page. If the student does not have a working vocabulary base that is up to level, the student will have comprehension issues that are tied to background vocabulary knowledge and not specifically to the act of reading. There are other issues that can come up as well . . . like mixing up letters or just plain guessing at words . . . that can relate to LD. eCart cannot pick up on those things. Why a student is failing is super important. eCart cannot show you that and, even worse, multiple tests where the child fails is not a productive use of time. The child just becomes frustrated.
