Reading therapy for Denver families, on video

A Denver READ plan tells you the school found a reading gap. It does not name the reason. The visit that looks at the language under that score can happen on video. We do not have a Denver office.

The paper Denver families usually have

Denver Public Schools is the largest district in Colorado, and a Denver street address is not always a DPS school. Cherry Creek and Jeffco both enroll children who live in Denver. The READ Act follows the child into whichever of those districts sent the letter.

Inside DPS, parents often have a score from the district's K–3 reading screener and, when the school finds a significant reading deficiency, a READ plan. Reporting in 2024 found many Denver schools using iStation for that first screen, with DIBELS in others. Students below the line were given a diagnostic, then small-group instruction. The word dyslexia was easy to miss. The paper is about reading skills. It is not a diagnosis. That account of Denver's process is from reporting in February 2024, so bring the letter you actually received.

What the video visit looks at

We look at the spoken-language skills the score is built on. That includes hearing and moving sounds in words, connecting sounds to letters, spelling that shows whether the child can hear the word, and comprehension when decoding is not the hard part. We screen those skills. A formal dyslexia identification, if you need the name, is a psychoeducational evaluation. We refer for that. We do not do it here, and we do not ask the school to drop the READ plan.

There is no Denver office. Sessions are on video from home. The clinic, if you ever want the building, is in west Greeley at 4645 18th St, Ste #200. The drive is not the offer. The statewide explanation of the letter is on the Colorado reading page, and the service is on the reading and literacy page. Families in the Springs have their own districts, described on the Colorado Springs page.

Request a reading consultation and tell us which district sent the letter. Call or text (720) 798-6930 if you would rather start that way.

Questions families ask

The letter, the video visit, and what we do not diagnose.

No. The clinic is at 4645 18th St, Ste #200, in west Greeley. Denver sessions for reading and literacy are on video.

No. A READ plan means the school found a significant reading deficiency from its K–3 screening and other evidence. Many Denver schools have used iStation for that first screen, and some have used DIBELS. The paper is about reading skills. It may never use the word dyslexia.

The Colorado READ Act still applies. Bring the letter from the district that wrote it. The video visit looks at spoken language and phonological skills, not at which district logo is on the page.

No. Request a reading consultation and tell us what the school sent home and what reading looks like at your table. We will say whether a video visit is the right next step.
