Virginia Language and Literacy Screening System Information
The Virginia Language and Literacy Screening System (VALLSS) is the state-provided screening tool supporting Virginia’s Early Intervention Reading Initiative (EIRI). The EIRI’s goal is to reduce the number of children with reading problems through early diagnosis and immediate intervention.
By screening students in grades K-3, school divisions determine each student's level of risk (low, moderate, or high) for developing reading difficulties and receive state funding for providing reading intervention. All students in the high-risk band must receive intervention services, in addition to their regular classroom instruction.
