A comprehensive screener to identify children who are at-risk for developing problems in learning to read. Early intervention alters the course of a child's entire future.
When children fail to master reading, the impact extends far beyond the classroom.
Students reading below average in 1st grade remain below average in 8th grade
Of the population struggles with symptoms of dyslexia
Children must move from learning to read to reading to learn
Feelings of shame, failure, inadequacy, and depression
Reading disorders affect 1/5 to 4/10 children, often undiagnosed until 2nd or 3rd grade. Early intervention is crucial for success.
Reading disorders may occur in as many as 1/5 to 4/10 children, many of whom are not diagnosed until 2nd or 3rd grade. In many school districts, 3rd grade is designated as a retention year.
Most of the children who are retained receive no intervention for their reading disorders until that time. In addition to that delay, successful remediation is much more difficult and much more costly if intervention is delayed.
Early diagnosis of children with reading disorders will make significant improvements in the lives of children who are missing the necessary foundation in reading that should have been acquired before the children start school.
Children who get off to a poor start in reading, rarely catch up. The failure to learn to read has severe consequences including difficulty in all subjects in school, early school drop-out, and problems obtaining meaningful jobs as adults.

Screens kindergarten students for letter names, sounds, and three types of phonemic awareness.
Identifies demographic situations and parent observations with children who are at-risk for reading difficulties.
Available in digital format and can be given to students in an entire class at one time.
RiFS-Reading screens kindergarten students for their knowledge of the names of the letters and the sounds the letters make and three types of phonemic awareness. In addition, the screener has a parent component which identifies certain demographic situations and parent observations with children who are at-risk for reading difficulties.
