Free Dyslexia Screening Checklist for Schools
Organize reading and spelling observations, review important learning context, and identify appropriate support or referral steps.
Screening aid only · Not a diagnosis · No student data uploadedThe Dyslexia Screening Checklist helps school teams document patterns that may warrant further literacy screening. Rate observable indicators across phonological awareness, decoding, fluency, spelling, writing, and learning history, then record relevant context such as instructional opportunity, language background, hearing and vision review, and response to intervention. The result explains the pattern and recommends next steps. This checklist cannot diagnose dyslexia, establish disability or service eligibility, replace validated age-appropriate screening instruments, or substitute for evaluation by qualified professionals under current local policy and law.
