Our state has mandated that we begin screening students kindergarten through 3rd grades for dyslexia this year. And it is important to remember that we are screening for indicators, but we are NOT diagnosing dyslexia. We needed to make managing dyslexia screening as easy as we could. Our state department required several areas of skills that needed to be included when we screen. Thankfully for us, we were already doing most of what they were asking for. All we needed to do was add in a few elements and then be sure we screened all students in those grades for this first year.
I did a lot of research into this and attending meetings to be sure we were on the right track and included all of the required components.

If you think ESGI might be what you are looking for to help save you time when assessing, click the picture above. There are many more features to this software that I didn’t even write about today. Try it out for 60 days and see! I use it for dyslexia and RTI screenings. Classroom teachers use it for grade level check off skills and so much more.
