IDL Dyslexia Screener

A demonstrable deficiency in one or more of the below skills can be an early indicator of dyslexia and other learning difficulties. The dyslexia test assesses the following:

• Auditory processing
• Visual processing
• Short term memory
• Speed of processing
• Organising and sequencing

There are 11 individual tasks included in the Screener. Each task covers targeted questions that ensure accurate assessments. This detailed approach allows the results to be used to identify areas of low ability or more specific difficulties. The tests are:

• Names of letters
• Sounds of letters
• Find the vowels
• Known sequences
• Auditory memory
• Sound blending
• Sound discrimination
• Visual discrimination
• Sound discrimination with visual memory
• Alphabetic ordering
• Spelling

There is no time limit and questions that are not intended to ascertain short-term memory will have options to repeat audio prompts for improved accessibility. The screener also uses the customisable colours in the same manner as IDL Literacy, meaning that learners with previously identified issues can read more easily

Detecting dyslexia early is important to help support the development of children early on in their lives. Our Screener accurately identifies dyslexia and related tendencies, guiding teachers on providing extra support where needed. This effective online dyslexia tool is adaptive, adjusting to each child’s skill level. It serves not only as a dyslexia screener but also as a diagnostic tool for identifying broader literacy challenges.

Timely intervention plays a vital role in aiding children with dyslexia. It prevents them from lagging behind peers or developing a dislike for reading. By supporting dyslexic learners early on, teachers can empower them to enhance their skills, promoting their confidence and enabling them to achieve their full potential.
