Foundational Literacy Skills Screener

What is a Foundational Literacy Screener?

Our foundational literacy skills screener is a focused assessment designed to identify foundational reading and spelling skill strengths and areas of need.

Who Might Need a Foundational Literacy Screener?

This screener is ideal for students who may be struggling with early reading development, word-reading, or spelling, and for families seeking information without a full comprehensive evaluation.

This screener provides information about foundational literacy skills, but is not sufficient to diagnose specific learning disorders, like dyslexia.
