Free Screener

How do I know if my child is a struggling reader?

To enroll in the Dyfference Maker’s Academy, your child does not need a formal diagnosis of dyslexia.

Our curriculum was designed to help all kinds of struggling readers and those who might need a little extra help or frequent breaks. The screener below can help you determine if your child would be a good candidate for our Academy.

It is important to note that this assessment is only a screener and is not a formal evaluation or diagnosis. If you have concerns about an individual’s reading progress, we recommend contacting the school they attend, a licensed child psychologist, or their primary care physician about pursuing a thorough evaluation to investigate the nature of your concerns.
