B.C. officially announces dyslexia screening for all Grade K-3 students

Premier Eby, education minister announce $30 milllion for dyslexia screening, literacy

Advocates for literacy are welcoming provincial plans to screen all students between Kindergarten and Grade 3 for dyslexia and other learning disabilities, starting with the new school year.

“Reading difficulties can be prevented for over 95 per cent of all children, including those with dyslexia, when schools screen students and provide effective early intervention starting in kindergarten,” Smith said. Eby said screening students at a young age means that they can get whatever extra help they need early on rather than having to get more intensive support when they are older.“Our government is committed to removing barriers and providing the supports students need so they can reach their full potential,” Singh added.
