“I am finding the EBS helpful for a wide range of students...I like the pre/post word lists to determine a student’s decoding skills”
Susan Gelarden (Indiana)
"I have been using the EBS test for many years to discover what skills are needed for tutoring students. I have found it to be an extremely useful tool in ascertaining students’ strengths and weaknesses and highly recommend it.'
Emily Ackerman (Regional Director, Trust Tutoring)
"I have had the EBS test for over 15 years and have found it to be invaluable for general tutoring clients. Parents are always impressed and feel much more confident in hiring me when I have diagnostic tools to reference and use to create a work plan."
Susan Kruger (Lake Orion, MI)
“Regarding the EBS, I have found it to be useful and accurate. Whenever additional test results were available, the age levels determined by the EBS were consistent with them.”
Jim Loftin (Florida)
"I have been using the EBS for at least ten years. It is an excellent tool that is simple, yet gives enough complex information to illuminate exactly where the student/client needs exposure or assistance. I have used this to evaluate on a professional level as a certified evaluator, a private tutor and as a home-school mom. I now utilize it as a professional counselor. I would recommend the EBS as a definite asset to anyone who is interested in getting to the point. It is useful for all ages and non-threatening to students/clients because unlike most others, the EBS is not overwhelming or redundant."
