NWEA MAP Reading Fluency Dyslexia Screener
Grades: K-2 | BOY, MOY, EOY
A universal screener designed to assess foundational reading skills and aligned with Indiana law (SB 217) is administered to identify students who may need additional support. This screener is used in conjunction with other reading assessments to determine whether a child requires targeted intervention in specific areas of early literacy. While the NWEA Early Literacy Screener can help predict potential indicators of future reading challenges, including traits associated with dyslexia, it does not serve as a formal diagnosis of dyslexia or any reading disability.
