New Dyslexia Screener for Ages 4 through 7
In the spring of 2020, Schoolhouse Educational Services will be releasing the Reynolds Dyslexia Risk Questionnaire (RDRQ). The RDRQ, authored by Cecil Reynolds and Rebecca Gerhardstein Nader, is an online rating scale with teacher and parent forms for 4 – 5 and 6 – 7 year-olds. With 40 to 60 items on each of the forms, parents and teachers can complete the scale in just a few minutes, making it ideal for universal screening.
