Dear Parent/Guardian,
In alignment with Senate Bill 114, Oro Grande School District will be administering a Universal
Screener for Dyslexia to all students in grades Kinder, 1st and 2nd Grade between October 1, 2025 –
November 7, 2025.
The purpose of this screener is to identify potential risk factors for dyslexia early so that students can
receive appropriate support to strengthen their reading and language skills. This is not a diagnostic
test but rather a tool to provide valuable information about your child’s foundational literacy
development.
The screener will focus on early reading skills, which research has shown to be important indicators of
future reading success. These areas may include:
●
●
●
●
●
Phonological and phonemic awareness (recognizing and working with sounds in spoken words)
Alphabet knowledge and letter-sound correspondence
Rapid naming skills
Decoding and word recognition
Oral reading fluency
Once the assessment window closes, results will be reviewed by your child’s teacher and site support
staff. Parents will receive a report of your child’s screener result within 45 days. For more information
on the Multitudes Universal Screener, please click on this link.
If you do not want your child to participate in the Universal Screener for Dyslexia, please notify your
child’s school office in writing by September 30, 2025. Students who opt out will continue to receive
high-quality instruction and literacy support available to all students.
We appreciate your partnership in supporting every student’s success in literacy.
