California’s New Required Reading Risk Screener
Starting next school year (2025-26) all California public schools are required to screen all K-2 students for risk of reading difficulties, including risk for dyslexia. This universal screening is an important opportunity for schools and families to identify potential reading difficulties before the students get far behind. This allows for interventions and support to be started early in students' literacy journeys, which is when they're most effective.
