DYSLEXIA IS A SPECIFIC LEARNING DIFFERENCE THAT IS NEUROBIOLOGICAL IN ORIGIN.

While a child with dyslexia may have normal or above-normal intelligence, and often a great desire to learn, their brain processes letters, words and characters differently. This makes it difficult to recognize certain letters and/or words, harder to comprehend and process written passages, and often challenging to read aloud or “sound out” a word or specific spelling.

It’s important to remember that while dyslexia is neurobiological in origin, it has an educational solution. At Riverside School, we provide a style of teaching that meets the individual needs of students with language-based learning differences, encouraging them to achieve their highest academic potential.

Early Literacy Screening
Riverside School offers free early literacy screening for children in grades pre-K-2 (ages 4-8). This is a quick assessment that can help determine if your child is at risk for reading failure or needs reading intervention. Please call Debra Mitchell, Riverside's Director of Admission, Transition, and Testing at (804) 320-3465 to schedule an appointment.
