[UConn @UConn]

UConn researchers collaborate with schools across the country to help identify kids at risk of dyslexia. The AppRise project uses a free, game-like app to help teachers assess kids as young as five and get them the help they need to learn to read.

New handy tool! Is your child/student at risk for #dyslexia? Do you know YOU likely had/have dyslexia? Use this 6-item questionnaire to find out: ARHQ-Brief. https://t.co/SamSiqoPr6 With @UConn Luxi, @rhancockn, @UCSF @AlbaLanguage Christa, Rian, Zach, MariLu. 😊 1/2
