This article provides an overview of accessing and using the Dyslexia Risk Report to understand student risk levels. If you are missing this report, connect with your district Reading Assistant Leaders to get it turned on for your school. The Dyslexia Risk Report leverages the Reading Assistant assessment tasks as a screener to calculate dyslexia risk status and provides a quick view by class.

Accessing the Dyslexia Risk Report

Select the Dyslexia Risk Report from the Reports screen.

Screenshot of the Reading Assistant interface with the Reports tab highlighted, showing available report options.

Use the Dyslexia Risk Report to identify students at risk for dyslexia who need further assessment, instruction, and intervention.

  • The Dyslexia Risk Report displays students by risk level, from highest to lowest risk.

  • The risk level is defined by a Dyslexia Risk Indicator (DRI) score ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a higher risk of dyslexia.

  • A score of 0 (zero) is the lowest risk score.

  • The length of the score bar is 0, so there will be no green bar for a score of 0 (zero)

  • A score of -1 indicates that a student took the assessment, but Reading Assistant was unable to produce a valid score based on limited or no student performance data (typically for early readers still learning letters and sounds)

  • DRI scores greater than or equal to 30 are flagged as At Risk, while scores below 30 are labeled Low Risk
