Lindsay ISD reports reading-intervention gains; plans dyslexia screening for students
Summary
Superintendent Steve Cope told trustees that students who began the year a year or more behind in reading dropped from 72.5% to 31% by year end; 14% were identified as possibly dyslexic and were being tested to enter therapy next year.
Superintendent Steve Cope presented the district's 2025'2026 reading intervention results to trustees on June 24, reporting measurable improvement but ongoing needs.
"As you can see, 72.5% were a year or more behind at the beginning of the year. By the end of the year, 31% were a year or more behind," Cope said while summarizing the intervention data. He added that 14% of students were identified as possibly dyslexic and were undergoing testing with the goal of starting dyslexia therapy at the beginning of the next school year; 9.5% of students were removed from intervention after reaching or nearing grade level.
Cope's report frames the district's reading work as showing progress while still identifying targeted needs for dyslexia screening and interventions in the coming school year.
