Stark Griffin™ (SGDA) Dyslexia Junior English Replacement Kit
The Stark Griffin™ (SGDA) Dyslexia Junior English Replacement Kit supports continued early-intervention work with children under 9. At this age, a formal dyslexia diagnosis is not yet appropriate. However, many children already show early signs of emerging dyslexic patterns. This kit helps you identify those signs early and respond with the right support.
Only professionals registered with the Stark Griffin Dyslexia Academy may use this kit. You must also complete full SGDA dyslexia training before administering any Junior assessments. Because of this, the kit remains unsuitable for untrained users or use outside the academy’s approved protocols.
Purpose of the Junior Assessment
Children younger than 9 often show early cognitive and learning differences. These patterns may point to future dyslexia. Yet developmental variability makes early diagnosis inappropriate. Therefore, the Junior Assessment Kit fills an important gap. It helps you identify:
- Early perceptual, cognitive, and phonological difficulties
- Dyslexia-related patterns and tendencies
- Areas needing early support or remediation
With these insights, you can intervene earlier. As a result, children benefit from better long-term outcomes and a smoother educational journey.
Assessment Components
The Junior Assessment covers five key areas. Each one contains subtests that evaluate early learning and processing skills.
Parent Questionnaire
You collect structured information about development, behaviour, and the home environment. This input strengthens the accuracy of your overall interpretation.
Perceptual Exam
You assess visual and auditory processing, sequencing, spatial awareness, and short-term memory. These skills form the base for reading readiness.
Reversals Exam (Piaget & Jordan Exercises)
You identify directional confusion and early warning signs, such as letter reversals.
Name It – Eidetic Identification
You evaluate rapid naming and visual-memory speed—skills tied to fluency, word recall, and long-term retention.
Phonological Awareness Assessment – Phonetic Skills
You assess how well the child recognises and manipulates phonemes, a core skill for reading and spelling.
Together, these components give you a complete view of the child’s early learning profile.
