Lucid Rapid – Dyslexia Screening for 4 to 15-year-old students
About Rapid
Rapid Dyslexia Screening is an objective computer-based system for identification of dyslexia between the ages of 4 to 15 years.
It is swift and easy to administer, taking only 15 minutes – less than any comparable system currently available. Results, based on national standardised norms, are available immediately. A simple, printable report of the results, which incorporates automatic expert interpretation, gives a clear indication of the probability of dyslexia.
Rapid provides three separate dyslexia-sensitive subtests:
• phonological processing
• auditory working memory
• phonic decoding skills (for students aged 8 and over) or integration of visual memory skills (for students under 8 years).
About the subtests
The Rapid subtests assess phonological and memory skills that are known to impact on literacy.
In order to allow for natural development in the component skills as children get older and to ensure that the test gives accurate results, the content of each of these subtests varies according to the age of the child, although the underlying cognitive processes are essentially the same.
