Year 5 - Dyslexia screener

Dear Parent/Carer of Year 5, 

In school, we wish to assess all our pupils in Year 5 and see what their needs are and how we can help them learn and achieve. As part of this process, we plan to give your child a computerised assessment. This will show if they have the sort of difficulties with reading and spelling that dyslexic people usually have.

We plan to use an assessment called the Dyslexia Screener. Your child will do six short tests, each measuring something different.  When your child has done the assessments on the computer, a report is produced. This will tell us how your child did, and whether or not there are any signs that they may be dyslexic.

We intend to complete these assessments week commencing 8th June 2026.

After the assessment is finished, we will let you know how your child did and our plans if any, for further follow up. 

If you have any queries or concerns please contact us at info@delucy.greenwich.sch.uk .

Yours faithfully,

Mrs Anna Bryan

Assistant Head/ SENCo
