Aim: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of dyslexia among primary schoolchildren in government and private schools.

Material And Methods: A cross-sectional study on 128 primary schoolchildren attending selected government and private schools in Western Maharashtra was conducted and evaluated using the Search tool, which is a standardized study tool for screening dyslexia.
