Parents and Students Love the Screening Process!

“Prior to starting the dyslexia screening, our daughter felt anxious and requested my presence nearby. April's warm welcome instantly put her at ease, as she highlighted her positive qualities, which boosted her confidence. Just minutes into the screening, our daughter was smiling, sitting a little taller, and ready to give her best. April's genuine kindness and encouragement made the experience pleasant for Olivia. We're grateful for her professionalism and expertise." 

Mary Medina

“I'm so glad that I found Ms. April with Learn Reading Official. It was such an easy process to have my daughter tested for dyslexia and she was able to give us results right away. If you are on the fence just do the screen. Put your mind at ease."

Kacie Tilker

“My son had his Zoom dyslexia screening today with April! Even though I explained what the screening was all about beforehand, he was hesitant to participate. Within about 1 minute of getting to know April, his countenance completely changed! He was enjoying the questions and problems to solve. Yes, so me of the tasks were a challenge for him, but with April's positive feedback and experienced coaching skills, my son had the best time. Having this positive experience for my son was INVALUABLE. He has had low self-esteem about his intelligence and this Zoom meeting alone was such a boost for him. She gave him a hopeful outlook on reading and writing! I'm so grateful we decided to do the dyslexia screening with April!!!!!" 

Heather Norton

“I could shout your praises for days. I have been dreading this test for weeks. I love how you opened the meeting telling her all of the amazing things you had heard about her. That allowed her to start off on such a great note. My favorite was how encouraging you were throughout the entire session. Emersyn truly felt on top of the world at the end. She said she liked how you complimented her on asking questions. Thank you so much."

Sarrah Williams

“I have been so impressed with Learn Reading's screening process. Directions for the parent were simple & explicit. Ms. McMurtrey's approach with my grandson during the evaluation was wonderful - her voice was calming & her words were encouraging. My grandson, who is dyslexic, left the evaluation feeling successful! I welcome April McMurtrey's insights in helping our struggling reader."

FAQs

Is my child too young to be screened?

Screenings can be completed for children 6 years old and older. There is no maximum age.

How long will the screening take?

Dyslexia screenings takes on average 30 minutes. The duration of your student's screening will be dependent on the number and duration of breaks they will need. April adjusts the screening duration to the needs of the student to achieve optimal results.

Can I give the screening results to my school?

If you purchase the "Signature" or "Premium" screenings, you may present April's official, written report to your child's school. The screening done by April McMurtrey will determine whether or not the child fits the dyslexia profile. However, the results of this screening alone may not qualify them for special education services.

If you purchase the "Core" screening, your results will be delivered verbally, with a simply summary email. Those informal results should not be presented to a school to request formal accommodations. If that is your desire, you should purchase the "Signature" or "Premium" screening which comes with an official report.

When will I know the results?

April will tell you immediately after the screening if your child does or does not fit the dyslexia profile. Once she has analyzed the results of each of the screening tasks, she will tell you the severity of the dyslexia if it is present. If the "Signature" or "Premium" screenings were purchased, you should receive the full report within 3 business days of the screening.
