READ Act

  • The Colorado Reading to Ensure Academic Development Act (READ Act) was passed in 2013 and enacted in 2013. This law focuses on K-3 literacy development and includes requirements for assessment, individualized READ plans for students who have been identified as having a significant reading deficiency, and specifics around parent communication and involvement. CDE will be collecting READ Act information yearly.

    DPS currently supports DIBELS 8 and mCLASS Lectura as its READ Act assessment in grades K-8 and i-Ready in grades 6 – 12. STAR Early Literacy, STAR Reader, i-Ready, and Istation are also approved for use within DPS.
