Elementary READ Act

  • The Colorado Reading to Ensure Academic Development Act (READ Act) was passed in 2012 and went into effect July 1, 2013. This law focuses on students in grades K-3, but is for all students in grades K-12 who have been identified with a Significant Reading Deficiency (SRD.)

    The information on this page is specific to students in grades K-5. Currently, we support DIBELS 8 and Lectura as the "DPS Sponsored" READ Act assessment. i-Ready, Istation, and STAR Early Reader/STAR Literacy are also approved for use within DPS for READ Act purposes.
