- Do you suspect your child to be dyslexic?
- Is your child struggling to read?
- Not sure if your child needs a full diagnosis for dyslexia!
Research shows that 70% of those reading below average in 1st grade will still be reading below average in 8th grade. (Landerl & Wimmer, Valas, 1999, 2008, Moats L. C., & Dakin, K. E. (2008))
Early literacy identification makes early literacy intervention possible.
Don’t wait.
Take the step to help your child improve their reading and catch them before they fail. Complete any of these screeners, and let us help you interpret them and plan for the next steps to support your child.
This quick assessment is designed to help identify potential indicators of dyslexia in children. Dyslexia is a common learning difficulty that can cause problems with reading, writing, and spelling. It’s not related to intelligence, but early identification and appropriate intervention can lead to significantly better outcomes.
How Does It Work?
You’ll be presented with a series of questions about your child’s learning and language behaviors. Please answer as accurately as possible based on your observations.
Who Should Take This Screener?
This screener is intended for parents, guardians, or educators who want to understand more about a child’s reading and language skills.
Please Note:
This is NOT a diagnostic tool. It can help identify children who may be at risk of dyslexia and benefit from further professional assessment. If you have concerns about your child’s learning abilities, we recommend booking an assessment with our specialist.
Ready to Begin?
Take a deep breath, and when you’re ready, select the right age group and begin the assessment.
Remember, this is NOT a test or assessment, but a step towards understanding and supporting your child’s learning journey.
