Using screeners in school

- - Compare results with classwork, observations and pupil confidence.
- - Try recommended Learning Support settings during normal learning.

Learning Support settings
Use results with Learning Support settings
After a screener or check, pupils can apply calmer supports such as reduced text, one question at a time, dyslexia-friendly fonts, a reading ruler, number lines, visual supports and step-by-step mode.
These screeners are intended to highlight possible support needs. Results should be considered alongside classroom evidence and professional judgement.
