Outreach & Literacy Services
At Oakwood School, we know that early intervention is crucial, which is why we offer Outreach and Literacy Services to the Northern Virginia community without requiring enrollment in our private school for learning differences.
If your child is struggling with reading or working behind grade level, please reach out about any of the services below. We will provide information and resources to parents working to understand and support their child's learning strengths and challenges.
Reading Intervention Support
Literacy Assessment and Dyslexia Screening:
- Reveals the likelihood of Dyslexia.
- Measures competency in areas of reading development (decoding, spelling, fluency, and comprehension).
- Identifies potential accommodations or strategies to support reading growth.
- Provides a report with data to support conversations with teachers, tutors, and other adults directing your child's reading progress.
