Amira Dyslexia Screener
Identify risk factors with our efficient, research-backed screener.
The Dyslexia Screener Built Into Amira Provides Powerful Support for Early Intervention
In less than 9 minutes, Amira screens for potential risk factors for dyslexia or other reading difficulties. The International Dyslexia Association (IDA) recommends that all students be screened for dyslexia.
Early identification of dyslexia is crucial for students’ future success, minimizing problems with reading comprehension, reduced reading, and delayed growth in vocabulary and background knowledge. Amira meets or exceeds the universal screening criteria set by IDA.
How Amira’s Dyslexia Screening Works:
Teachers assign the dyslexia screener to students.
Students start the screening process, completing various performance tasks, such as Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN), which tests students’ ability to quickly identify letters, symbols, phonemes, words, and objects.
Teachers and administrators analyze the results by accessing generated reports.
Educators determine which students might benefit from additional professional screening based on their results.
