Introduction
The National Center on Improving Literacy has put together a comprehensive toolkit that addresses the importance of screening of children in the field of literacy. Early assessment and identification of students who are struggling to read, including those with dyslexia, is important to promote early interventions. Screening is critical in the early identification process and there are important considerations when it comes to understanding screening processes and tools. This issue of NASET’s Assessment in Special Education series provides information and access to the toolkit created by The National Center on Improving Literacy.
