Screen vs. Paper Reading—Which is Better for Learning?
According to research, how students read—not just what they read—matters!
- Students who read on paper score higher on comprehension tests than those who read on screens.
- Reading on screens leads to skimming and lowered attention and retention.
- Reading on paper engages more senses, which boosts comprehension and recall.

Very organized and flexible. And most of all, my son actually enjoys going, and we’re seeing results at school.Michel Semienchuk
Hello, It took a while to get the results of my ministry exam (almost 3 months...), but I was so shocked and happy to find out that I PASSED! Thank you, guys, for helping me study and giving me the confidence to pass my exam. I appreciate the time I spent there. Again, thank you, everyone! I hope you're all doing well. -GabrielleGabrielle

Unlock Your Child’s Full Potential with a Learning Style and Achievement Test at Oxford Learning Montreal NDG
Every student’s program starts with a learning style and achievement test, which determines how your child learns and which skills require the most support. It is essential for better understanding your child’s strengths and weaknesses and the unique ways they learn.
We are not just looking at academic results; our Learning Style and Achievement Test helps us identify why your child is struggling so we can fix the problem.
Our Learning Style and Achievement Test includes:
- Insight into WHY your child is struggling
- A portion that helps us better understand how your child thinks and learns
- An academic portion that lets you know where your child stands academically
- Valuable insight into how your child performs in testing situations
Why Do We Call it Dynamic?
The Learning Style and Achievement Test looks at the test results and how your child is performing during the testing. Are they open to trying, or resistant and shut down? Are they nervous or engaged? These observations of your child under testing help us better understand your child as a learner.
Unique
Our learning style and achievement test is dynamic because it adjusts according to your child’s responses. If your child shows capabilities in one area, we mark that level and move on. In this way, every student’s assessment experience will differ depending on their results.
Interactive
The test is interactive. Some areas require drawing, manipulating objects, and repeating sentences to the assessor.
Quiet
The test takes place in one of our testing rooms, away from the main classroom. This way, your child can think clearly and is not distracted by other things happening in the centre.
Stress-Free
The test can take up to three hours for older students—but it doesn’t have to be stressful! There’s no need to worry on test day: the evaluation is not so much a test as it is an opportunity for your child to demonstrate what they know and what intellectual skills they possess.
The Learning Style and Achievement Test allows us to understand where your child is academically, why your child is at that point, and how we can help move them forward.
The Learning Style and Achievement Test results allow us to personalize a program specific to your child and begin …
- improving academic skills,
- building cognitive strength,
- and boosting learning confidence.
The First Step in Your Child’s Learning Journey
The Learning Style and Achievement Test is the first step in your child’s learning journey. It unlocks insights into what your child knows (academic skills) and their unique learning strengths and weaknesses (cognitive skills).
Personal Road Map for Success: The Testing results provide a roadmap to create a personalized learning program for your child, telling us where to start and what areas to focus on most.
The testing is a key part of your child’s program. Without the assessment, we are just taking our best guess at your child’s actual needs.
