Three things a parent can do tomorrow morning, before the money conversation. Built with reading therapists in mind, put in your hands.
A short screener that puts your child at their exact reading step. Letter sounds, blending, real and made-up words, plus a listening check-in. Prints a plain-language summary a school team can act on.
Start the check →Under IDEA’s Child Find clause, U.S. public schools must evaluate any child suspected of a disability at no cost, once you ask in writing. Fill in the fields below and this kit prints the letter for you, ready to sign, hand-deliver, or email.
Build the letter ↓The formal eval can take 60 school days. Meanwhile, real nightly practice moves your child forward, and the weekly reports become evidence the team can read. Full access, no card, no expiry.
Unlock full access →Answer a few questions. This letter is printed from public-domain IDEA language, and nothing you type here leaves this device.
The school has to respond in writing. In most states, they must complete the evaluation within 60 school days of your signed consent (some states are faster). If they say no to evaluating, they have to give you a written notice of that decision and your legal options — including a state complaint or due-process hearing.
You are not asking a favor. You are exercising a right protected by federal law since 1975. This letter is written in the language a school district legal team will recognize.
Bring the summary from step 1 when you hand-deliver, or attach it to the email. It gives the team concrete skill data, not just parent concern.
It is: a research-informed reading screener, a ready-to-sign request letter for the free school evaluation the law already guarantees, and real nightly practice while that process runs.
It is not: testing, a diagnosis, or an evaluation. Only a qualified professional evaluation can diagnose a reading disability, and nothing here substitutes for one.
And if a reader plateaus: the program watches progress on objective criteria. If growth goes flat across eight weekly checks, it says so on screen, plainly, and points you back to this kit and to a professional evaluation. It will never quietly let a stuck reader stay stuck, and it will never sell you something in that moment.
If a specialist recommended this kit, thank them for the referral.
