Concerned about your child’s reading?
We’ll help you take the next step.
Maybe reading takes more effort than it seems to for other children. Homework ends in frustration. Or your child is beginning to lose confidence, and you’re unsure how to help.
Literacy Fort Worth offers free dyslexia risk screenings and helps families understand results, ask questions, and navigate the school process toward appropriate support.
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
Here for your family.
Support begins with and continues after screening.
We help families move from uncertainty to clarity, one step at a time.
Step 1 — Understand the concern
Step 2 — Know what to ask
Step 3 — Navigate what comes next
Start where you are.
I’m worried about my child’s reading.
You don’t need to know whether your child has dyslexia to begin asking questions. Learn what screening can help you understand.
My child was identified as at risk. Now what?
A screening isn’t a diagnosis, but it does mean your child needs a closer look. We’ll help you understand what to ask, whom to contact, and what should happen next.
My child has dyslexia, but we’re stuck.
Children with dyslexia can learn to read. We’ll help you understand what appropriate instruction looks like and how to tell whether your child is making meaningful progress.
Support continues after screening
Learning that your child may be at risk is the beginning of another set of decisions.
What do the results mean?
Whom should you contact?
What should you ask?
How will you know whether your child’s support is helping?
We help families understand those decisions and prepare for what comes next — so you can participate with confidence.
Every child deserves to feel capable of learning
When reading is difficult, families may see frustration, avoidance, or a child who is beginning to dread school.
We want children to receive the support they need to make progress — and experience themselves as capable learners. Helping families understand their options and move forward is our part in that work.
Helping one family can reveal a barrier facing many.
As we work with families, we learn where the path becomes difficult: confusing communication, unclear next steps, and obstacles between identifying a concern and receiving support.
We bring those patterns to educators and community leaders to help improve the path for other families.
Our approach is simple: Find. Navigate. Learn. Change.
A role for the whole community.
City leaders, school districts, and community organizations each play a critical role in making sure children reach appropriate reading support.
Schools have essential responsibilities for reading instruction and student support. Families, libraries, community organizations, local government, businesses, and donors should also all play a role in helping children reach that support.
Literacy Fort Worth brings these efforts together through community screenings, family navigation, community conversations, and shared learning about where change is needed.
Help a family move forward.
Your gift supports free community screenings, family navigation and advocacy, and the work of understanding and addressing recurring barriers.
Help us reach children whose needs may have been missed — and support families as they take the next step.
Help us find the next child.
Somewhere in Tarrant County, a child is struggling to read and doesn’t know why. Their family may not know either.
Together, we can find them sooner, help their family navigate what comes next, and build a better path for every child who follows.
