Overview
The Screening for Risk of Reading Difficulties allows for early identification and intervention of reading difficulties, including dyslexia, for students in kindergarten to grade two. Education Code Section 53008 requires all California local educational agencies (LEAs) to implement screenings beginning no later than the 2025–2026 school year.
A Program Screenings section is available in the Special Programs page allowing for users to enter screening information for a student.
Navigate to Student Data > Programs > Special Programs.
