Who needs to be screened
O All K-2 – DIBELS and Rapid NamingO All 3-12 who are referred by their
teachers/parents for concernsO Can begin the process at any level
and move forward
Universal ScreeningO Screening of all students to find
those in the category of “some risk” or “at-risk”
O DIBELS is required by the Dyslexia law
O Rapid Naming O AR Rapid Naming ScreenerO Local Norms – Excel or SPSS
Examples of Universal or Level 1 Screeners

After Universal Screening
O After students are identified through universal screening to be some risk/at-risk
O Monitor progress (level 1) and intervene with skill deficits
O May move on to therapy/intervention if RTI committee determines it is warranted
O May also move directly to level 2 screening if warranted.
O Local control/RTI team control
Deciding when to go for Level 1 screening
O If, through progress monitoring and appropriate intervention, the student is not showing improvement the RTI team should gather data for a Level 1 screening
Level 1 screening
Adequate Intelligence or the Ability to Learn?
O Check to see if they’ve had a speech/language screening – Pass or Fail
O If you have a speech evaluation can look at listening comprehension skills – average LC equates to average cognitive abilities
O Average math calculation skills, poor reading may affect math problem solving (word problems)
Assembling Your Level 1 Screener
O Personalize your Level 1 Screening using what you have available to you in your district
Level 1 Screening
Level 1 Screening
Do I Mark Yes or N0?O Is my student consistently receiving
scores in the some risk/at-risk range of scores on the DIBELS? Then mark Yes
O Is my student now, after receiving intervention, achieving scores in the expected range for their grade? Then mark No
Level 1 ScreeningO If the consensus of the Level 1 screening data
table indicates the possible presence of dyslexia then a Level 2 screening should be conducted – Do you have more yes’s than no’s? Do you have yes’s that are concerning and warrant more investigation?
O Phonological awareness difficulties – blending, segmenting, rhyming, phoneme isolation, word find issues, alphabet knowledge, etc.
O Word reading/decoding issuesO Spelling difficulty
Level 2 screeningO The Level 2 Dyslexia Screening is a
more detailed process for identifying a pattern of strengths and weaknesses documenting the characteristics of dyslexia. - See Level 2 Table
O Meant to be norm-referenced meaning that you will be obtaining standard scores, scaled scores, and/or percentiles – See Bell Curve handout
Level 2 ScreeningO The specific skills to be tested
include O phonological awareness, O rapid naming, O word reading, O decoding, O fluency, O spelling and O reading comprehension.
Assembling Your School’s Level 2 Battery
O Get in Small groups or individuallyO Use Assembling Your Schools Level 2 Battery
handoutO Complete your Level 2 battery form to
determine if you have all needed materials to screen for level 2
