Your free dyslexia screener.
The first step toward answers costs nothing.
A real, standardized free dyslexia screener administered live over Zoom by a licensed reading specialist, in a free small group session or a private one on one session, your choice. Not a quiz. Not an algorithm. A clinical tool that tells you whether your child is at risk. And right after you finish, we talk through the results together.
Start with a 2-minute questionnaire.
Answer six questions to see if your child is at risk. If they are, you will be invited to schedule a free Zoom screening. Free screening seats for grades K–1 are limited each week. When they are gone, they are gone until next week.

Not a quiz. A real clinical tool.
The Tests of Dyslexia (TOD) is a standardized assessment published by WPS, built specifically to identify dyslexia and used by psychologists, reading specialists, and educational diagnosticians across the country. It measures the specific reading and phonological processing skills that are affected by dyslexia.
It is not a checklist. It is not a self-report survey. It is a structured, administered assessment that produces a numerical score, and that score tells us whether your child is at risk for dyslexia.
What it tests: phonological awareness, letter and word reading, nonword decoding, and reading fluency. Together these subtests produce a composite Dyslexia Risk Index score on a standard scale where 100 is average. The score tells us the level of risk and whether a full evaluation is warranted.
Signs of dyslexia to watch for: trouble sounding out words, slow or effortful reading, frequent spelling mistakes, difficulty rhyming, reversing letters, or avoiding reading aloud. A free dyslexia screener tells you whether these signs of dyslexia point to real risk.
The screening happens over Zoom. Your child sits with our team on a video call and completes the tasks. Nothing to study, nothing to prepare. Just show up with a device and a quiet spot. When the screening is done, our team stays on the call and walks you through the results right away. No waiting. No wondering.
Your child's ability to hear and work with the individual sounds in spoken language. For example: "Say toothbrush. Now say toothbrush but don't say brush." A foundational skill for reading and one of the earliest indicators of dyslexia risk.
Your child reads letters, letter sounds, and progressively harder words aloud. Starts with common high-frequency words and builds to longer, more complex words. The most direct measure of reading skill relative to age.
Your child reads made-up nonsense words aloud, words like "blurst" or "tarvish", that get progressively harder. Because these words can't be memorized, this test isolates pure decoding ability from reading experience.
Your child reads words and short sentences as quickly and accurately as possible in a timed trial. This measures automaticity, how effortlessly they recognize written words without having to sound them out.
Simple from start to finish.

Six questions about your child's reading, spelling, and learning history. Takes two minutes. You get an instant risk indicator that tells you whether a screening is the right next step.

30-45 minutes on ZoomPreliminary results, same call
When the screening wraps, our team stays on the Zoom call and walks you through what they found. Risk level, what it means, and what they recommend as the next step. No waiting around.
Right after the screeningYou leave with answers, not just a score.
Dyslexia Risk Index Score
A standardized composite score from the TOD, showing where your child falls relative to their age and grade peers.
Risk Level
Low, moderate, or high risk for dyslexia, clearly stated in plain language, not buried in clinical jargon.
Clear Recommendation
We tell you exactly what the results mean and what we recommend as the next step, whether that is monitoring, a full evaluation, or specialist referral.
Same-Call Results Conversation
When the screening ends, our team stays on the Zoom call and walks you through the findings right away. No scheduling a separate call. No waiting.
Next Steps
If a full evaluation is recommended, we explain exactly what that involves, what it costs, and how to move forward. No pressure, no runaround.
Specialist Connections
When the results point toward specific support needs, we connect you with the right local specialists: OT, speech therapy, tutors, and more.
Here is what you walk away with.
Not a verbal maybe. You get a written Dyslexia Risk Index report, the same kind a clinic produces, showing exactly where your child stands and what to do next. Something real to put in front of the school.
| Subtest | Raw | SS | 95% CI | Descriptor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Letter and Word Reading | 72 | 92 | 84 to 100 | Average |
| Nonword Decoding | 17 | 79 | 71 to 87 | Low |
| Reading Fluency | 35 | 82 | 74 to 90 | Below Average |
| Dyslexia Risk Index | - | 82 | 76 to 88 | Moderate risk |
Based on this screening, a comprehensive evaluation is recommended. The Dyslexia Risk Index indicates characteristics consistent with dyslexia that warrant a full evaluation to characterize your child's reading profile and guide instruction, accommodations, and support.
Sample report. This is a brief dyslexia screening based on the Tests of Dyslexia (TOD). It indicates characteristics consistent with dyslexia and whether a comprehensive evaluation is recommended. It is not a comprehensive evaluation, and not a medical or clinical diagnosis.
A real licensed practitioner. Not a computer.
Our team is with you on the Zoom call for the entire screening. When it wraps, they stay on and walk you through the results right then. No sending results off to be reviewed later. No waiting days for someone to email you a risk level.
This is not an automated scoring system. It is not a teacher filling out a checklist. It is a live, structured assessment administered by our team, who can answer your questions the moment the screening ends.
Your results mean something. Because the person reviewing them knows what they are looking at.
