Important: This screening helps identify possible signs of dyslexia by looking at reading-related skills such as sound awareness, decoding, spelling, fluency, and recognition of common high-frequency words. It is not a diagnosis. If results suggest risk, a full evaluation by a qualified professional is recommended.
