Literacy Evaluation Services:                                                    

At RISE Institute for Literacy, we provide educational evaluations to help families better understand learning strengths and areas of need in reading, writing, and math. Our assessments are designed to support instructional planning and informed decision-making.

Free Initial Consultation

All services begin with a free consultation. During this meeting, we:

• Review your concerns • Discuss your child’s learning history • Conduct a phonics screener • Determine whether screening or a comprehensive evaluation is appropriate • Outline recommended next steps

Our goal is to ensure families receive the right level of support. 

Dyslexia Screening – $50 

 A brief, dyslexia specific screening to identify risk factors and characteristics commonly associated with dyslexia. Includes:

• Targeted literacy screening measures • Immediate feedback • Recommendation regarding the need for further evaluation

This is often a helpful first step when reading concerns arise.
