School-Reported Reading Assessments Show Atypical Gains for Students With Dyslexia

Posted on by

Across multiple cases and school-administered reports, students who participated in NOW! Programs®, an evidence- and research-based approach grounded in developmental brain science, demonstrated:

Significant percentile gains in reading and language performance
Growth exceeding typical annual expectations, rate of growth as high as 91st percentile
Sustained progress across multiple school testing windows

In several reports, students’ reading was previously below the 10th percentile and later they scored in the 50th to 80th percentile ranks, as documented by independent school assessments. The school-reported assessment outcomes align with federal and state expectations for evidence-based instruction under ESSA and IDEA, demonstrating measurable gains rather than reliance on compensatory strategies.

“Either way, the screener must accurately and reliably identify students at risk of reading difficulties,” according to Senate Bill 25-200, which is titled “Dyslexia Screening and READ Act Requirements.”
