School-Reported Reading Assessments Show Atypical Gains for Students With Dyslexia
Students with dyslexia in multiple states improved reading scores from below the 10th percentile to between the 50th and 80th percentile, with growth rates reaching the 91st percentile.
- On Jan. 29, 2026, NOW! Programs released school-reported assessment data from 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 school years across multiple states showing gains for students with dyslexia on NWEA MAP, STAR Reading, aReading, AUTOreading, and WIST.
- NOW! Programs uses a speech-to-print remediation framework grounded in developmental brain science, researched and implemented over more than 30 years at The Morris Center.
- Across multiple testing windows, nationally normed tools recorded students previously below the 10th percentile moving into the 50th–80th range and growth up to the 91st percentile on NWEA MAP, STAR Reading, aReading, AUTOreading, and WIST.
- Teachers observed improvements in classroom performance and writing after intensive small-group instruction, with school-reported results aligning with ESSA and IDEA expectations and data shared voluntarily by parents.
- Challenging prior beliefs, the data question the fixed 'developmental window' concept as The Morris Center's peer-reviewed trials support gains after intervention, potentially prompting wider evidence-based remediation adoption.
