Carroll School is offering free early intervention screening for entering
1st or 2nd grade students in order to help parents assess whether their
child is at risk for encountering reading difficulties.

The screening will include:
Phonological Awareness, Rapid Letter Naming, and Decoding

"If I could give three measures to every Kindergarten teacher to predict
fluency, it would be: 1) a phoneme awareness task; 2) a set of rapid
automatized naming tests (for letters, numbers, colors, objects); 3) a
vocabulary test."
Dr. Maryanne Wolf, Tufts University

"Screening tests of phonological awareness skills in grades K and 1 predict
with 95% accuracy who will have difficulties learning to read."
Lyon, 1997: California Department of Education, 2000.
