Early Dyslexia Screening & Literacy Profile

For children aged 5 to 7 (Reception to Year 2)
In-person, one-to-one specialist screening

Is your child finding learning, reading or writing difficult, but still too young for a full diagnostic assessment?

This early screening service is designed to gently explore your child’s educational development, offering clarity, reassurance, and practical next steps — before gaps widen or confidence is lost.

​

Ideal for children in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2, this supportive, child-friendly session identifies strengths and challenges in your child's learning profile and identifies early signs of dyslexia. This screening builds a clear picture of how your child learns and the support they need to meet their potential.

What’s Included?

Helping dyslexic learners thrive

1. Parent Consultation (30 minutes)
A relaxed, informal meeting (in person or online) to understand your child’s learning journey, strengths, and any concerns. This helps tailor the session to suit your child’s individual needs.

​

2. 1:1 Screening Session (45-60 minutes)
A one-to-one session using specialist tools and engaging activities to explore:

  • Phonological awareness (how sounds work in words)

  • Letter–sound knowledge

  • Spelling and reading strategies

  • Working memory and processing skill

  • Handwriting and motor coordination

  • Confidence and learning attitudes

​

3. Written Summary Report (1-2 pages). A professional written summary of the screening outcomes, including learner strengths, challenges and practical, personalised recommendations.

​

4. Verbal Feedback & Next Steps (30 minutes)
We meet again to talk through what was observed — highlighting your child’s strengths, areas for development, and helpful strategies to use at home or share with school. We can also discuss further support, or full assessment options, if appropriate.​

Why is Early Screening Critical?

​​

  • Identifies potential difficulties before they become entrenched – why wait until your child is falling behind or losing confidence? Early screening helps catch issues before they impact progress across the curriculum.

  • Explains early literacy struggles in a gentle, age-appropriate way – helping your child (and their teachers) understand their learning profile without stigma.

  • Protects confidence and engagement – timely support can prevent the frustration, low self-esteem, and behaviour issues that often arise when a child feels they’re not keeping up.

  • Empowers parents to request the right support from school – with clear recommendations grounded in evidence.

  • Encourages patience and understanding from everyone involved – when the root of a challenge is recognised, responses can become more supportive and constructive.

  • Make a meaningful difference, without a formal diagnosis – practical strategies can begin straight away.

  • Supports long-term success – early intervention is proven to reduce the risk of disengagement, school refusal, and emotional difficulties linked to learning struggles.

A Parent's Perspective

Giving dyslexic learners the confidence to succeed
“We've suspected dyslexia for about 3 months. Our daughter just wasn't making the same progress with words as others in her reception class. This screening gave us clarity without pressure. It was a turning point— It's given us the insight and understanding we need to prepare to support her going forward into year 1."
