| Screening and Assessments for Students |
| Comal ISD has dyslexia screening and assessment in place for students in grades K-12. Kindergarten teachers use a screening tool that measures phonological awareness skills and student reading progress is carefully tracked and monitored in the primary grades. If dyslexia is suspected, referral for intervention and possible assessment is made through the campus Response to Intervention (R & I) Team. |
