FunScreen

Fun and accurate reading difficulty screening

 

Learn more

The FunScreen tool is used to predict a child's risk of developing a reading difficulty.

Its aim is to screen children for risk of reading difficulty before they experience difficulties, rather than diagnosing an existing reading difficulty. This proactive approach allows for early intervention - even before children formally start learning to read - with the goal of preventing reading difficulties from developing or reducing their severity. 

The FunScreen tool gives schools the information they need to make timely interventions to support those new entrants who are most at risk of developing reading difficulties at school.

Why this tool?

The FunScreen tool identifies children who are potentially at risk of reading difficulties, before these difficulties become established.

This allows schools to employ a preventative approach to reading difficulties, rather than a remedial one.
