education and life.

The National Center for Learning Disabilities, known as NCLD, is a national non-profit organization committed to increasing opportunities for all individuals with learning disabilities so that they can achieve their full potential. NCLD has a particular interest in early literacy skills because of their importance to reading and school success. In developing Get Ready to Read!, NCLD’s goal is to incorporate early literacy screening and instructional activities into early childhood education, child care, and family support programs nationwide. Its vision is that all children are screened for early literacy skills and potential reading difficulties in the preschool years as routinely as they are screened for hearing and vision problems.
Q. Does the screening tool screen for learning disabilities?
A. No. The screening tool does not screen for learning disabilities. The child's total score on the screening tool is a snapshot of the extent to which he or she has mastered the skills in three core areas of early literacy.
